Tuesday Morning Update
The storms that erupted since this weekend had a distinct focus in northeastern Maryland, particularly in southern Harford County. Between Sunday and Monday, multiple slow moving storm cells overwhelmed local waterways, and led to flooding on many roads.
This video was sent to me by Jennifer Huneke, who lives just two houses from the Little Gunpowder on Harford Road. It became a raging river that surrounded her property.
This is a simple estimate, and local measurements may actually be a little higher.
Here we see over 6 inches of rain fell on Edgewood, and larger areas of over 3 inches fell between Bel Air and Havre de Grace.
I realize just this weekend I was talking about near drought conditions, and now I’m highlighting a chance to ‘dry out’. There are still plenty of parts of our region that have missed out on these storms… So while the swollen waterways will lower, the dry lawns will turn more brown.
The cold front that forced the final push of storms yesterday has moved off the coast. There is patchy fog this morning, but the dry air mass inland will bring in sunshine while remaining very warm.
Fog is more likely in places that received heavier rain yesterday. This should be lifting and starting to dissipate by 8 AM.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 65ºF
Record 50ºF in 1952
Normal High in Baltimore: 86ºF
Record 98ºF 1968
Next afternoon thunderstorms on Thursday and Saturday.

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.
