July 24 Showers And Thunderstorms Today And Tomorrow Then Less Humid Into The Weekend

Wednesday, July 24 2024

Morning Report

The ground may be wet with fresh rain falling when you step outside. This same old frontal boundary remains stuck over our region. This morning there has been some energy to produce a band of light rain with pockets of heavier showers, where a brief thunderstorm may track over Delmarva.

This afternoon and evening, the unsettled atmosphere will develop more thunderstorms… but they will be scattered. So this is not a plan buster but worth paying close attention to. The radar simulations below are suggestions and not promises. We will need to watch where the storms develop and then track that impulse, as this is not well organized.

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
