Tuesday Morning Update 

Coming off a sunny and warm day, temps will be warmer today but with clouds. It is possible we push the upper 60s to near 70ºF, just ahead of a round of rain. This may also bring some thunder. The timing will determine how warm we can get before it arrives.

The record high in Baltimore today was 76ºF in 1997. I don’t think that will be reached today.

A larger storm will arrive tomorrow with more rain and wind. It will be focused in the afternoon and may end with some snow in the mountains… We remain absent of winter for at least another week. 

Morning Temperatures

Morning Surface Weather

More clouds today, but a surge of warm air.

There will be a cluster of rain arriving in the afternoon. This will work off the temperatures and may produce lightning and thunder. 

The larger storm will continue to develop and reach us tomorrow.

It does look like spring for a while. Today’s afternoon showers may bring a few rumbles of thunder. 

The larger storm reaches us with more rain on Wednesday, followed by strong winds and a brief cool-down. Temps modify and warm up again this weekend.

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. #FITF
