Tuesday Morning Update
It’s still there! The Ghost of former Hurricane Ian continues as a stalled Nor’easter off the Mid Atlantic coast, now even closer to Ocean City. In fact, we can see the center of circulation getting very close to the coast in the wind forecast animation below.
This brings us yet another day with rain and chilly winds. Temps may actually be cooler this afternoon than yesterday. But some improvement begins tomorrow.
The steady onshore flow has brought multiple rounds of flooding at each high tide cycle, in addition to beach erosion. Here is NEW VIDEO I shared on my Facebook page from Cindy Kelly. This was at Edgewater Avenue in Ocean City, Maryland.

The focus today will be mostly about the water.
This Ghost of Ian Nor’easter continues to spin and pivot rain back inland.
The Ghost of Ian continues as a stalled Nor’easter off the coast. The circulation will be closer to the coast today, which we can see in the wind streamline forecast below.
Winds will be mostly from the North. This will keep us chilly AND push water out of the Bay. The strongest winds will continue to be along the water and especially by the Atlantic Coast.
Watch the center circulation (no longer an eye) retrograde westward and get very close to the coast later today.
Steady rain will continue with the storm spinning off the coast. Heavier rain will fall near the Bay and across Delmarva in bands through the afternoon. Notice how it breaks up farther inland. Also, the rain seems to fall apart by tonight. This is the signal of this storm coming to a close… soon.
Not much movement on the thermometers again today. Plan for a wet day with mid 40s to lower 50s in the afternoon.
Remaining chilly!
Normal Low in Baltimore: 51ºF
Record 31ºF in 1974
Normal High in Baltimore: 73ºF
Record 92ºF 1954

The weather WILL BE BETTER THEN!
After skirting the coast today, the Low Pressure will finally break down and move away tomorrow.
A few pockets may still receive another 1 to 2 inches all depending on how these bands of rain set up around the Chesapeake Bay.
After the Nor’easter moves away, we will get at least two warmer days. However, a new cold front will arrive later Friday, resulting in a chilly (but dry) weekend. If you are riding in the Seagull Century at Salisbury, it will be windy at times.
