Morning Report
Good morning! It has been nearly 10 days since my last report. If you do not follow me on social media, it is due to my Maryland Trek 12 team hiking and biking across the state to raise money for Just In Power Kids programs for families facing childhood cancer.
I am back at work and will have a little update for you to follow below.

This is the ECMWF Model out 240 Hours. This is a simulation of multiple possible solutions for the developing storm. Up to 10 days away, climatology and the Bermuda High steering winds have this likely to curve between the US East Coast and Bermuda.

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
