We will conclude this weekend with sunshine AND strong winds. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler than the upper 80s we had yesterday. With this new air mass, winds may gust over 30 mph!
Pleasant weather while still with a breeze on Monday. Then the next storm will arrive with a chilly pattern in the jet stream mid week. This will bring us a steady rain on Wednesday, then lingering showers and temperatures more like March or April for the rest of the week. This may limit any severe risk, but keep an eye on swollen waterways.
The National Weather Service did confirm a tornado formed over Baltimore’s Federal Hill and dissipated over Dundalk.

Breezy but not as strong. Gusts to 20 mph.
The next rain event will be a large storm system sending rain Tuesday night into Wednesday. Then, a coastal storm will slowly move up the coast. This will keep a chilly wind and showers around for a few days.
The trend for next week is cooler weather. The core of the upper-level chilly air will pass through Saturday. By that point, we may mix in some sun, so the mornings will be noticeably chilly, and the afternoons may warm a little next weekend.

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
