Weekend Storm Update To End June

Friday Night June 28 2024

As our really pleasant weather takes a break this weekend and gets replaced with more heat and humidity, we expect increasing storms as well. The latest trend of forecast data has held up the storms in the mountains on Saturday. So, metro areas may remain dry with only isolated showers.

The main storm threat will be on Sunday, and this may include severe thunderstorms. High heat in the upper 90s will fuel the activity ahead of the new cold front.

NOAA Severe Storm Risk

Saturday

Sunday

Alert Reminder

A ‘WATCH’ may be issued if the ingredients become evident there is a good chance severe storms may develop within six hours.

A ‘WARNING’ will be issued only if a storm of this caliber is identified.  This ‘warning’ will include tracking in a county and specific towns for the following 45 minutes.

Surface Weather: Friday Night

A warm front will be swinging through overnight and early Saturday. This is what may ignite low clouds and drizzle or spotty showers during the morning across North Central Maryland into Southern PA.

The compact frontal boundaries across the Northern Plains are what will be the focus of the severe storm activity.

SATURDAY WEATHER

Drizzle or light rain showers may develop along the Chesapeake Bay and move north between Sunrise and Noon. Isolated pockets of drizzle or light showers could dot the inland hills as well, as the warm air tries to move north.

The risk for storms to turn severe will mainly be in the high mountains and back to the Ohio Valley. There is a small chance that they will drift east, but it is becoming more doubtful until Sunday.

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
