September 15, 2023

Friday Morning Update

Hurricane Lee is passing north of Bermuda this morning. It is well offshore, but helping to pull in cooler winds for our region this morning. Today will be the closest we get with just an added breeze and high waves.

Warnings are posted for New England and Lee may be downgraded to a Tropical Storm as it makes landfall in Nova Scotia Canada Saturday evening.

 

Morning Surface Weather

We can see Lee on the Map and High Pressure combined to bring us a chilly breeze. Our winds will be stronger this morning, then ease. Temps will hold in the 70s with low humidity.

A slight bump in temps on Saturday with the sun, then rain showers will arrive with the next cold front on Sunday.

Morning Temperatures

The 40s were not as close as I showed last night but we have pockets in southern PA and western Maryland. Most areas have dropped into the 50s inland away from the cities and Bay water.

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 at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work when I need 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 available. 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.
