Thursday Morning Update
Cool and Calm before The Storms. We have settled into true Fall Fashion locally, and it looks like the rain from Ian may reach us earlier. Rain could arrive later on Friday and last into the weekend while remaining chilly! We need to consider the initial rain from Ian may split off and give us a break later Saturday, before redeveloping Sunday.
Our setup includes strong High Pressure to the North and Ian to the south. Today here in the Mid Atlantic region we will be in full Fall mode with sunshine and a cool, dry breeze.
Ian is now a Tropical Storm with 65 mph winds this morning. It is forecast to reemerge over the water of the Atlantic and turn up the coast to South Carolina. The rain should reach Maryland later on Friday, bumping up against that dry air. That boundary should be to our north, so we get in on the rain and will keep that pattern through early next week.
NHC has it remaining a Tropical Storm, but I believe it has a chance to regain intensity to a Category 1 Hurricane before the second landfall.
Ian A Tropical Storm Thursday Morning: New Landfall Videos And Forecast Over Atlantic
Normal Low in Baltimore: 54ºF

Normal High in Baltimore: 75ºF
Record 91ºF 1945
We need to consider the initial rain from Ian may split off and give us a break later on Saturday, before redeveloping Sunday.
These totals will adjust with each model run tracking the remains of Ian. The consistency has been over a few inches widespread between Friday to Tuesday. This may produce some local flooding.
Rainfall will depend on how Ian behaves. The initial rain will push in Friday, then split from the Upper-Level Low. That leftover circulation will keep showers around and may redevelop into a new storm to bring additional rain or showers through Tuesday.
Temps will remain unseasonably chilly.
