July 12 Hot Afternoon With Severe Storm Risk And Flood Watch
July 12 2022
Tuesday Morning Update
Today is the day we get a surge of heat followed by a cold front. The result will be an eruption of a line of storms that may turn severe. This brings the standard risk of damaging wind, large hail, and an isolated tornado.
Temps stay warm most of the week, with a break from the rain, until the weekend.

*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.
