August 24 Spotty Showers Lead The Way For Autumn Chill This Work Week
SundayAugust 24 2025
Morning Report
The water along the US East Coast continues to be rough and needs another day or two to settle down. The new Tropical Storm Fernand has formed and is holding with wind speeds of 40 mph. It is farther East than Erin and will have no impact on the US.
In the week ahead, a new air mass will arrive, giving us a taste of autumn. The cold front leading the change will bring spotty showers and maybe a thunderstorm today.
Local Weather/Water Alerts
It will take the high water another day or two to settle down across the Chesapeake Bay. The same goes for the rip currents along the Atlantic beaches.

Surface Weather
An area of Low Pressure located off South Carolina will track like TS Fernand out to the Northeast and away from land.
A cold front has spotty showers that may affect us today, but the air mass on the other side is the main story. This is a mark of early autumn weather: Much cooler and lower humidity.

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
