Tuesday Morning Report

The story continues to be about the temperatures and growing drought.

The return flow around High Pressure will pump in warmer temps this week, so the 70s may arrive tomorrow and then become common. Some areas are expected to hit the 80s on Halloween; then we cool back for yet another weekend.

Wild Fire Risk Growing

On Monday, there was a flare-up along the Frederick and Washington County border that firefighters in the region had to address.

Baltimore only recorded significant rain on October 1. Barely measurable on the 2nd and a trace on the 4th. So essentially it has been about 4 weeks since we had rain:

  • Oct 1 = 0.35”
  • Oct 2 = 0.01
  • Oct 3 = 0.00
  • Oct 4 – Trace…

HALLOWEEN HEAT

This is like a summer pattern with High Pressure off the Southeast US coast. A cold front in the middle of the nation will produce showers and thunderstorms. It will run into problems pushing Eastward, diminishing the impact when it arrives at the coast.

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
