June 10 Warmer Weekend Plus Drought Update And Needed Rain On The Way

June 10, 2023

Saturday Morning Update

We are back into a near-normal weather setup. The majority of the smoke has dispersed and our temperatures will be warming up this weekend. So getting and staying outside is encouraged.

We have a growing drought, so our outlook for rain on Monday is welcome. While this will be the first region-wide rain since May 21, and we could get a decent soaking, it will only make a dent in our deficit.  Let’s take a look.

Air Quality Trends

Baltimore, MD

If you noticed the improvement yesterday, it has continued through today.

Saturday Morning Air Quality

Most of the region is in the Moderate to Good range.

Morning Surface Weather

High Pressure will allow for more sun and a warmer wind. This will pump us up to the mid-80s today and we will be approaching 90ºF tomorrow.

The storm in the central US will organize and reach us with needed rain on Monday.

Drought Update

A Moderate Drought is expanding in our region.

As of this morning, Baltimore is 8.43 inches below average rainfall for the year.

Rain Outlook

Sunday Morning to Tuesday Morning

The development of the storm to our west will first help pump in that warmer air ahead of it. The rain for our region appears to be timing out for an afternoon and evening opportunity on Monday.

Snapshot Monday Afternoon/Evening

Rain will be expanding all day, so by 5 PM most of the region is likely to be wet.

Rain Total Potential

This product is not precise and often shifts.. but this gives us an idea of many of the areas with the potential to get 1/2 inch of rain or more.

7 Day Forecast

We get rewarded with a summer-like weekend followed by rain on Monday. This may be something that develops during the day into the afternoon and evening. It will be followed by another stretch of dry days. So the drought will still be a concern.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

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.
