Thursday Morning Update
We ended a very warm August that brought Baltimore 15 days at or above 90ºF. The month closed 2.9ºF above average. Now we turn the page on the calendar with a fresh new air mass that will be pleasant. At least for a couple of days. By this weekend, the humidity and clouds will return, increasing our risk for storms.
Topical Atlantic: A lot of attention has been put here as a record was tied for August with no named storms. That should change by the weekend. Also, if you want a snowy winter, I found a trend you may want to look for repeating.
Less humid air is already into our region, and it will continue to ‘dry out’ through the day today.
The 50s are getting closer, but most urban areas have settled in the 60s. The warmer 70s are around the water of the lower Chesapeake Bay.
TODAY September 1
Normal Low in Baltimore: 63ºF
Record 53ºF in 1963
Normal High in Baltimore: 84ºF
Record 99ºF 1962
The 50s should get even closer to some suburbs.
This is the 3rd time on record an August did not have named storm. I looked further into the other years and found why one following winter had a lot of snow, and the other had very little. Check this out.

This will remain in the open ocean but expected to become a hurricane in a hurry.
Two other systems have a chance to get named by early next week.

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.
