Tuesday Morning Update
High Pressure is overhead and will dominate for a few more days. Temperatures remain seasonably chilly, with wind from the coast that may help to bring some additional clouds into the sky.
The next system will arrive later in the week and will simply be warm enough for just rain. While colder air will arrive to start the weekend, we will get a spring preview warm up early next week.
Still under the influence of High Pressure. There is a storm trying to form off the South Carolina coast. This will aid in the winds from the east and southeast. This may help push some mid-level moisture and some additional clouds into the sky.

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. #FITF
