Yesterday brought only the second 90°F day of the year to Baltimore. A lot more is on the way, and the dangerous heat wave with index values over 100°F will begin on Sunday. What will follow will be the first extreme heat wave of the year. Heat Index Values will be above 105°F starting on Monday.
Today will be a brief break. It will be the nicest day of the week ahead as we enjoy the longest daylight of the year!
Rainfall totaled 0.49” in Baltimore, as the line of severe storms tracked across Central Maryland.
The second day in a row with severe storms, with the focus near Route 50 again. There were other clusters including the track between Harpers Ferry to the northern suburbs of Baltimore.

The cold front is well off the coast, and this new air mass will start off pleasant with comfortable humidity.
The Heat Dome will be building in this weekend and then take full hold for most of next week.

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
