Saturday Morning Report
A classic frontal boundary will cross our region today. Rain showers are moving through this morning, and then a line of stronger cells with thunder and downpours will develop as the cold front moves through this afternoon.
The timing has been narrowed to a 2-hour window shown between the high-resolution short-range HRRR and NAM 3 km models. I will compare the two below, which show metro Baltimore between 2 PM and 4 PM.
A cooler wind will prevail Sunday, and then summer heat will build in for a couple of days during the work week. Depending on the next storm system, this may be limited.
Remember, we are in a SEVERE DROUGHT, and any rain is welcome as we have seen an uptick in regional brush fires over the past week.
Sunrise at 6:14 AM
Sunset at 7:55 PM
Normal Low in Baltimore: 47ºF
Record 32ºF in 2001
Normal High in Baltimore: 70ºF
Record 92ºF 1990

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
