December 10 Warming And Some Storming Saturday
Friday December 10
We have one more ‘blip, before we get into the longer stretch of mild weather promised. This will begins today with a little push up on the thermometer. Tonight some showers will mark a warm up by morning.
Saturday may challenge the record high at Baltimore’s BWI and other weather stations. The change of rain you may have seen on your apps, and in the 7-day below is mainly for late in the day. This may come with thunder and a marginal risk for a severe cell popping up.
Sunday will be cooler, then next week will set in the mild weather pattern we expect to last a week to 10 days.

One warm front is moving through this morning. Then another surge of warmer air will arrive tonight.

Reminder that this model has tended to be slow. So, this may arrive an hour or so sooner.
Severe Storm Outlook
There will be some thunder with that line of rain, but marginal risk for any local cells to turn severe.
