Morning Report
We have flipped the script from summer heat to spring chill. The storm moving through North Carolina is a tightly wrapped system, keeping the core of rain across southern Maryland and Virginia.
While we had showers overnight into PA, this morning, the rain is primarily south of I-95.
Most of the region had rain overnight, the ground is still wet into southern PA.
As of 6 AM, the edge of the rain was south of I-95 and moving to the East and South….
Steady rain will persist in these southern areas, while the north side gets to dry out. Some showers may redevelop during the afternoon.
That Low Pressure passes south, which keeps our region on the cool side. Winds will NOT be strong, but enough to hold in a damp easterly flow with temps a few degrees below or above 60ºF all day.
Keep this link handy… I’ll post the latest info as soon as I get it on this page.
The official high in Baltimore will be in the lower 60s, but most of the region, especially in the rainy areas will be on the edge or dropping into the 50s.
It my bro a little milder farther north where it remains dry.
Rain more likely across southern Maryland and Delmarva through mid afternoon.
North and West of Baltimore, it will be mostly dry, but some drizzle and pop up showers may redevelop in the afternoon.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 55ºF
Record 41ºF in 1963
Normal High in Baltimore: 76ºF
Record 93ºF 1933

Rain Animation: Wednesday Through Sunday
This time of year it is tough for fronts to move through. The cold air is not as strong, so weather systems can crawl or stall. That is why this risk of rain continues a little longer into the weekend.
Note: Friday looks the most active, then lingering showers but not a full washout. So there will be dry hours and some areas remain dry. It is impossible to determine who may miss out this far away…. But I’m pulling for you.
This is how it translates for us…. The unsettled pattern remains most of the week. While we get a break on Wednesday, the risk of rain and storms increases Thursday and Friday.
It does appear that showers may linger into the start of the weekend, but aiming for an improvement by Memorial Day.

*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.
