Saturday Morning Update
Yesterday I posted about the potential flooding followed by the official Flood Watch AND Excessive Rainfall Moderate Risk. It appears that the slight adjustment today will be the focus of that heavy rain for southern Maryland to the beaches. A Flood Watch remains in place for central Maryland with numerous Warnings already issued for rainfall from 1 to over 2.5 inches falling so far.
Flood Warnings (light green) have been issued across metro Washington and Annapolis where anywhere from 1 to over 2.5 inches of rain have fallen already.
A Flood Watch remains in place for Central Maryland until further notice.
Heavy rain has fallen before sunrise..
The heaviest rain has been around Washington DC
Yes, rain will linger today and may last in metro areas until mid afternoon, however a good chance for an improvement in metro Baltimore and north for any plans later today and this evening.
Southern Maryland and the beaches will remain wet longer, but we all should see the improvement on Sunday.
Low Pressure has already produced the early rainfall, with another piece of energy expected to move east along the stalled front.
The focus has shifted a little farther south.
While I believe this produce is 1 to 2 hours slow, the focus of the rain shifting south is the main story. It will improve and possibly clear out north of Baltimore into Southern PA, while rain continues all day in Southern Maryland to Ocean City.

*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.
