July 31 After Early Rain A Cooler And Pleasant Pattern For A Few Days into August

July 31, 2023

Monday Morning Update

The last 24 hours may have been nearly perfect. Sunshine and low humidity during the day. Then a band of rain (we still need it) fell overnight into early this morning.

If you are waking up with wet roads, or even rain still falling near the beaches… the day will gradually clear and bring back more nice weather.

August is about to begin feeling more like September, but only with a few days of cooler temps. The humidity, showers, and even some heat will build back later this week.

Radar Recap

A band of rain fell overnight into daybreak. It did include metro Baltimore, Southern PA, and the mountains to the west.

Here we see the rain from metro Washington DC around 3 AM to the Lower Eastern Shore at 6 AM… and heading to the beaches. This may last on the coast for a few hours, but most of today will end up sunny and dry.

Morning Surface Weather

Most of the Eastern US is dominated by a cooler flow with Large High Pressure. Even chilly air to our north will drop this way and bring two more additional days of below-average temperatures.

There is plenty of summer heat and storms in the central US. This will move in our direction later in the week.

Afternoon Temperatures

Noticeably cooler and closer to average expectations.

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 the 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.
