Tuesday April 2
Morning Report
The rain has already moved in, and today will be a wet day. We are on the north end of a stationary boundary, which puts us in the track of rain and on the chilly side.
The large storm complex will provide an active weather day in the Midwest to the Gulf Coast. This may include a tornado outbreak in the Ohio Valley where NOAA has issued a Moderate Risk for severe storms.
The line of rain is on the north side of the stationary frontal boundary. This is shifting North but will remain across the region and wobble 100 miles or so in either direction as impulses send more rain for a few days.
The morning showers should fade as it moves north by midday or this afternoon.

At this point, we expect a line of thunderstorms in the afternoon. The Slight Risk for any of the cells to turn severe will be South of the Bay Bridge through Southern Maryland, Southeast Virginia, and Eastern North Carolina.
Prime threat: Damaging Winds, Large Hail.
The stormy days will be today and tomorrow. As chilly and unsettled air locks in, showers will linger through the end of the week.
The good news here is that the pattern should break this weekend. Then, we look to dry out and clear out for the eclipse (partial coverage locally) on Monday.

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 while writing and to 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
