June 15 Fathers Day Weekend Weather Nearly Perfect Before A Heat Wave Builds In

Saturday, June 15

Morning Report

We are about to turn the corner to summer weather, for sure! This weekend is a break with low humidity and comfortable temperatures, so you can enjoy Father’s Day on both days!

During the work week, High Pressure will park off the East Coast, allowing heat and humidity to build in and take us well into the 90s. 

Morning Surface Weather

High Pressure has brought a cooler and less humid air mass that has carved out much of the Eastern US. On the back side, the storm track will remain nearly steady for a few days.

Afternoon Temperatures

Pleasant with low humidity and temperatures near or slightly below average.

CLIMATE DATA: Baltimore

TODAY June 15

Looking Ahead: Jet Stream 

Sunday to Friday

The building Ridge of High Pressure will hold off the East Coast for much of the week

Snapshot: Tuesday

The location of the center of this Ridge off the East Coast will create the Bermuda High and heat wave for the week.

Tuesday Afternoon Weather

High Pressure will remain locked for the week. This will keep stable air and inhibit clouds while increasing humidity. The result will be that each day will become less comfortable, and there will not be much rain in sight—not organized, at least.

Storm Forecast: Sunday to Friday

No organized weather features for us. There may be some spotty pop-up thunderstorms in the high temperatures at the end of the week. 

Model Temperature SUGGESTION

I am showing the GFS Model forecast for Baltimore at BWI simply to highlight the aggressive nature of the heat. I am holding back a little in my forecast below, but there is a suggestion of temps reaching over 100ºF next weekend. I think the humidity may hold us back a few notches. But the race is on… 

7 Day Forecast

With the Heat Wave building, there’s not much in the way of rain. Only isolated storms may pop up later in the week.

The Heat Index at the end of the week may exceed 105ºF, prompting Heat Advisories.

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
