Monday Morning Report
The storm on Sunday delayed its impact but finally hit metro areas late at night. Strong and severe storms hit the mountains, while heavy downpours soaked Delmarva. Two lines merged over Central Maryland late Sunday and the results ranged from 0.5” to 1” of rain for many areas. There were pockets of higher totals as marked below with Doppler Radar Estimates. Salisbury, MD peaked with over 4 inches of rainfall.
Today, St. Patrick’s Day will bring a cooler wind, then we get back to a nice and sunny warm up tomorrow.
We are still deep in the hole for needed rain. Not much organized pattern change in sight, but we will have more showers Thursday and Saturday.

It took all day for the rain to reach the highly populated Central Maryland, but the line of storms from the mountains did flare up after 9 PM… then merged with the band of rain over Delmarva.
Official Rain Total will be available later this morning.
Most areas got between 0.50” and 1”; but there were pockets that were higher.
The top soaker was the line over The Lower Eastern Shore and into Salisbury Maryland where over 4 inches of rain fell.

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
