Saturday Morning Report
I have a personal investment in the weather today that I’d like to share with you. I do not want to impose too much of my stuff in your weather report, but sometimes it helps tell the story. So with the Flood Warnings, Advisories, Wind Advisories, and Mother’s Day any outdoor plans are not favorable.
My Event: Six Pillars Century in Cambridge
As you may know, My Maryland Trek is a hike and bike across the state every summer. But I have never done 100 miles on bike in a single day… until today… sort of.
My friend Keith Wills is a strong rider and has already logged 2,000 miles this year. He invited me to the 100 mile ride in Cambridge today.
Friday evening we picked up our packets, and over 400 people already deferred (back out) due to the conditions with rain, wind, and chilly temps.
This Morning…
We are still here and may end up doing a shorter 60 mile course simply for logistics. I DO NOT and WILL NOT quit. My Trek honors kids in caner treatment and they can’t quit, and that is my incentive.
My wife sent this coffee cup to Keith to surprise me. She said I GOT THIS, so I MUST!!! I feel loved!
I am using it this morning with my breakfast as I write my report. Please know it will be somewhat brief. Basically it will be chilly with strong winds and rain… With more rain farther north in central Maryland and southern PA.
I have place a cycling emoji near Cambridge MD on the weather maps to show where we will be today.

*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
