May 19 Weather Sunday Starts Foggy The Warming With Sun And Summer Heat On The Way

Sunday May 19

Morning Report

The aftermath of the rainy Saturday is plenty of leftover moisture. This has left us with a bit of humidity and areas of thick fog to start the day.

High Pressure is building in, with an improvement on the way. Today may have more clouds, but tomorrow will bring us more sun and start a warming trend.

Mid week will bring summer heat, then one day of thunderstorms on Thursday.

Temperatures 

We have a mild and humid start. 

Visibility

Areas of DENSE FOG have been reported across Central and Northeastern Maryland, as well as in Garrett County and the high mountain valleys.

This is expected to lift by 10 AM.

Morning Surface Weather

High Pressure is in control! This is good news if you want dry weather. However, we still have moisture to deal with. After the fog lifts, the sky will remain mostly cloudy.

The real sunny and warm weather arrives tomorrow.

Radar Simulation 10 AM to 8 PM

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
