Wednesday Morning Report
That old storm off of the coast continues to cause problems with a strong and steady onshore flow. The Coastal Flood Advisories continue on the Chesapeake Bay again today, with a new High Surf Advisory for Ocean City.

Farther south, the waves have battered North Carolina and took out at least two homes. Watch as this house was seen on video getting pulled into the Atlantic Ocean.
The weather pattern is about to be dominated by an old storm off of the coast circling back our way. The focus will be on the onshore wind, which will build back in rain. However it is impossible to pin point where and when on Saturday and Sunday. So outdoor plans may be affected but not promised for any location. The rain will pop up at any time.
Low Pressure continues to wonder off of the North Carolina coast. This keeps the high winds up AND will bring the clouds and rain back is sooner.
This is interesting… Inland where there has been a clear sky and less wind, it starts cooler in the 40s, but will up warmer in the 70s.
Closer to the influence of the wind temp will remain in the 60s by the Bay and 50s on low Delmarva and coastal areas.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 50ºF
Record 32ºF in 1966
Normal High in Baltimore: 73ºF
Record 94ºF 1896
The slow moving storm off the coast will circle around, and is expected to build back in later in the week. At this time it looks like increasing clouds Friday with showers and storms next week.
The rainy pattern will not be a washout! However, we may see storms pop up at any time Saturday, then a focus on Sunday afternoon. This may make it difficult for your outdoor plans.

*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.
