Tuesday Morning Update
A cluster of rain moved across the region overnight and another is on the way. This has included some embedded thunder. More noticeable will be the drop in temperature into this afternoon. The difference between recent weeks is that this is a one day feature and we will clear with the sun and warmer temps returning tomorrow.
The rain that moved in overnight was more pronounced on the Eastern Shore. Pockets of heavy rain with some thunder were recorded as well. The next push of rain will move out of the mountains.
NOTE: Due to a glitch, you may need to refresh to get this to animate again.
The mild start this morning may be the warmest part of today for many before we experience the next push of rain.
8 AM to 4 PM
A small area of Low Pressure will track across central Maryland today. It will bring another batch of rain through mid day. That is the reason we expect temperatures to drop and hold in the mid 50s. After this system passes by, High Pressure will cross from the Great Lakes and return us to sunshine tomorrow.
The next round of rain will arrive in central/metro areas AFTER 9 AM.
The next wave of showers is expected to cross central Maryland later this morning through mid day. This will help to drop temperatures into the 50s and hold there into the afternoon.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 51ºF
Record 34ºF in 2020
Normal High in Baltimore: 74ºF
Record 93ºF 1963
If the sky clears out in your area with a damp ground from the rain, there may be areas of dense fog to start the day.
A warmer day with more sun.
The return of the wet pattern here is a suggestion. The timing of multiple impulses has been different on other models. It is unsure which may have the better solution or if it will be a hybrid of them all. Just consider that there will be more risk of rain over the weekend.
After this cool day, we will get back to spring with warming temps and sunshine. The risk of showers will return to end the work week and weekend. The modeling has been inconsistent with the timing and intensity, so please keep an open mind as the details may adjust.

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos, and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes, and even the computer glitches I may miss. 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 during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing, and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor that can check my work when I needed it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos, when she is able. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm.
