Friday, October 3 2025

This is the time of year when we are all or nothing. Our dry weather will continue and turn the chilly mornings into a warming trend this weekend as the winds swing directions.

It is optimal for outdoor plans and fall foliage turning. Meanwhile, the dry weather is getting serious, and drought concerns are returning.

Our next chance for storms will be next week.

The tropics are quieting down, and the outlook is minimal at best. But the results of the multiple storms off the coast pounding the shoreline has claimed another home in Buxton, NC. This is 8 this week and 9 in the last 2 weeks.

National Hurricane Center Outlook

If you are hearing about ‘two potential storms’ in the Atlantic, this is the latest look for the next 7 days!

It’s not that impressive!

Only a 10% chance near Florida.

The Atlantic Look is 30% and fits within the normal expectation.

Maryland

The latest Fall Foliage Report for Maryland was released, showing that the majority of the state has some color change appearing. I believe there is more color in the mountains than indicated on this map.

A different color palette here, but the same story with some color showing across the Southern PA counties. This includes Gettysburg, York, and Lancaster.

In Case You Missed It

I posted a report earlier about The La Niña Watch. This is expected to be brief and trend back to neutral, which could result in an active and snowy winter.

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 can also 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
