Wednesday, April 3

Morning Report

Today is our storm day! Rain has already brought early thunderstorms with it across southern Pennsylvania. The entire system will cross our region today, bringing heavier rain and developing storms that may turn severe. This will include Maryland and southward. 

It is important to note there is a large temperature spread across our region from the 40s to the north and 70s to the south. The severe risk will be farther south, where warmer temperatures will fuel higher cloud tops mid-day into this afternoon. See the radar simulation below.

On the bright side, despite a few more chilly and unsettled days, the outlook for Monday’s Solar Eclipse is looking sunny and dry. 

 

NOAA Severe Storm Risk

ENHANCED RISK: This area may have isolated tornados with a higher chance for large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado is possible, but the odds are low.

SLIGHT RISK: Here with less energy, storms still may produce damaging winds over 58 mph and pockets of hail.  

April 3 NOAA Severe Storm Risk Wednesday

 

Flood Watch

Locally heavy storm cells may produce 1 to 3 inches of rainfall.

April 3 Flood Watch Wednesday

 

 

Morning Surface Weather

The strong and complex weather system has a sharp temperature contrast across the region. This is part of what will feed the severe storm risk today. The better chance will be farther south, where temperatures will be warmer.

The core of the cold air is with the Low across the Great Lakes. This will pivot our way over the next few days, keeping our weather unsettled through Friday.

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 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
