Morning Report
Before we get started, I want to share something personal. My older son is graduating High School next week. His senior class went to the football field on the first day of school to watch the sunrise. On the last day of classes, they gather to watch the sunset. I absolutely LOVE THAT!!
We will have sun today, along with a refreshing cool North breeze to end the month. Tomorrow, we get more sun and a warm-up, but we can’t avoid rain on the weekend. At this point, showers are still expected Sunday afternoon… after starting in the mountains in the morning.
One more beauty from Wednesday Evening
High pressure has ushered in the Canadian Air Mass. A cool breeze today with sunshine and some afternoon clouds.
Stormy AGAIN in Texas, with rain across the Central US. This is what will try to reach us on Sunday.
A refreshing and cooler breeze will flow from the North.
Afternoon winds will be from the North at 10 to 20 mph.
A little below average, making it feel refreshingly cool and crisp.
Sunrise at 5:43 AM
Sunset at 8:27 PM
Normal Low in Baltimore: 58ºF
Record 40ºF in 1996
Normal High in Baltimore: 80ºF
Record 91ºF 2011
Sunny and Warmer
The next system will arrive with rain on Sunday. Since it is moving faster, it will arrive sooner than suggested yesterday.
At this point, I would plan for the potential for Sunday to turn soggy.
A soggy start in the mountains. Clouds will increase in metro areas, and a sunny start will fade by mid-day at the beaches.
Rain showers will push east into metro areas… Steadier rain will be farther west. Still dry by the beaches.
Rain showers in metro areas and the drive home from the beaches.
This weekend brings sun and a warm start, then showers to finish. Next week will turn cooler again to kick off June.

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
