April 11 Severe Storm Risk Then Strong Winds And A Warm Up By Sunday

Thursday, April 11

Morning Report

Today is the day we get the impact from this large storm complex. The three main issues to be concerned with are: First, some strong thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. A marginal risk for severe weather, with a greater likelihood to our west.  Secondly, the wind flow will push water up the Chesapeake Bay, so coastal areas like Annapolis have a Flood Risk. Third, strong winds will build up today and into Friday.

NOAA Severe Storm Risk

The prime area for damaging storms will be across eastern Ohio into parts of West Virginia and western Pennsylvania. 

• A Slight Risk into Western Maryland. 
• Marginal threat for the rest of our region due in part to the later timing AND cooler temperatures.  
• We have to consider the chance some storms can carry over with leftover intensity tonight. 

Morning Surface Weather

This complex storm system is affecting the Eastern Third of the nation, likely impacting flights and travel.

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
