Wednesday Morning Update
We have a nice start to the day and a storm well off the coast. However, the reach will be wider, even as it moves farther away. No tropical activity in the Atlantic, but this summer Nor’easter will be a nuisance for those at the beaches. Winds along the coast are responsible for high waves and rip currents. I have an Ocean City focused forecast below. Wrap around showers are expected to develop in central Pennsylvania and drop into parts of central Maryland this afternoon.

As we watch the storm head to Maine, the showers developing in the wrap around in Pennsylvania to Maryland will be scattered this afternoon, then fade tonight.
Local Look: NAM 3 Km 2 PM to 10 PM
This simulation product has been underperforming, showing less activity and slower than verifying.
I would plan for any showers AFTER 2 PM. I’ve bumped the chances near and north of Baltimore to 40%.
Much less likely to get rain south and east.
Afternoon Temperatures
These temps will be before the clouds and showers develop. Temps will be cooler with the winds at the beaches.

*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. It 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 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.
