July 24 Weather Turns Warmer With Heat Advisory Friday And Weekend Storms
Thursday, July 24 2025
Morning Report
This morning brought the return of sunrise back to 6 AM in Baltimore. If you slept through it, at least you will get a chance to see more sunshine today.
The extreme weather of the summer and the rebuilding Heat Dome will be expanding back our way. Temps get back to the 90s today and jump tomorrow with the heat index over 105°F. This has prompted a Heat Advisory for most of the region.
The environment will turn more turbulent this weekend with strong showers and thunderstorms both Sunday and Monday.
That heat will linger next week.

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
