Morning Report
We start the day with areas of fog after yesterday’s storms. The air is still muggy, and the day will remain humid. This afternoon, new thunderstorms will pop up, but they will not be widespread. This is typical summer stuff.
A drop in humidity is expected this weekend.
Tropical Storm Erin is still racing across the Central Atlantic Ocean. Winds are up to 50 mph, and the real growth will happen over the next few days. This is still expected to become a strong hurricane AND CURVE AWAY from the East Coast. The latest look is below, including the waves for the local beaches.
Still muggy and unsettled, but no major triggers in the atmosphere for the storms.
The weak cold front will bring in lower humidity for the weekend.
Scattered Thundershowers. This is a suggestion, NOT a promise of where and when they may develop.

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
