Thursday Morning Update
This week of storms was capped by the periods of heavy rain yesterday afternoon and overnight. Some places saw between 3 and 5 inches of rain, resulting in local flooding.
That system will be moving off of the coast, allowing cooler winds from the Northeast and a chance to dry out.
The next batch of rain will begin the weekend to be followed by a pleasant set up to end the weekend. Then next week brings back high heat!
Doppler Radar has indicated the pockets of heavy rain since Wednesday morning. This included over 5 inches in northern Carroll County. We can see the track of the storms with 2 to 3 plus inches of rain across central Maryland and into parts of Delmarva, with another patch over York County in PA.
4 AM to 6:30 AM
Did heavy rain wake you up early this morning? Here is why…
Low Pressure will be moving off of the coast and taking the bulk of the rain with it. Clouds will linger and a Northeasterly Wind will follow. This will keep the afternoon cooler for much of the region.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 667ºF
Record 53ºF in 1990
Normal High in Baltimore: 89ºF
Record 104ºF 2012
Rain appears to be the dominant weather feature to start the weekend. This should be a one day event, with the system moving out and clearing us by Sunday.

*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.
