June 18 Dramatic Drop From Record High Temps And Fathers Day Weather
June 18 2022
Saturday Morning Update
The heat we had on Friday was a unique event for us. It accompanied with sturgeon winds and low humidity. So for many it was tolerable. We did reach the record high in Baltimore, but there is still some debate as to how high.
Officially The National Weather Service has documented this at 96ºF, tying the 1939 mark. However, the peak temps between hours has been recorded on this map showing 97ºF.
This may be semantics, but worth mentioning. What’s more Important is that today and tomorrow will end up at least 20 degrees cooler in the afternoon with Sunday morning quite chilly!
High Temperatures On Friday June 18
Morning Surface Weather
The reason for the abrupt change is a Large Dome of High Pressure in Canada pushing a cool air mass into the Eastern US.
This coupled with a strong storm in Eastern Canada will provide gusty winds ushering in the cooler air.
Morning Temperatures
Afternoon Temperatures
The forecast highs will be around 20 degrees cooler than yesterday. With the wind and low humidity it might feel chilly, especially in the shade.

Wind Gusts
Peak winds may reach over 30 mph, so it the water will be choppy in the Bay.
I will be spending my Fathers Day Morning boating with my boys…

*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.
