September 3 Weather For Start Of School And Cat 3 Hurricane Dorian Forecast

Severe Weather
Forecast

Warnings

Tuesday September 3 2019

Today is the first day of school for public systems in Maryland, so I need to start with local weather. Also: PLEASE slow down and stop for bus pick ups!  We will have two warm days, then two cool days to end the week as Hurricane Dorian passes south off of the coast. There will be some impact in Maryland with both higher water and outer rain bands. The wind speed of Dorian is down to Category 3, but the size is larger. So while the storm is stalled, it will move north today. More on that and what it could mean for us down below.

Hurricane Dorian Stats at 5 AM

  • Hurricane Force Winds reach 45 mph from the center
  • Tropical Storm Force Winds reach 150 miles away. This area will expand.
  • Center is 105 miles east of West Palm Beach Florida
  • Wind gust to 61 mph on Juno Beach Pier, FL
  • Movement now Stationary

Morning Surface Map

It’s the front that brought us storms last night and the next one in the Great Lakes that will lift Dorian to the north. Meanwhile, we will warm up into the 80s today and close to 90ºF Wednesday. Then some storms will bring in cooler air and help to steer Dorian possible with landfall and then off of the coast near North Carolina.

Temperature Outlook

After two warm/hot days, the end of the work week will be cooler in the 70s. This may include rain on Friday as Dorian pulls in the cooler air while it moves off of the coast.

Compare European ECWMF to GFS
Both models show rain getting into Southern Maryland on Friday. The European model is slower, but does bring the rain up possibly to
Baltimore. The GFS Model is faster, cuts the rain south of the Bay Bridge, but brings stronger
outer bands into Ocean City



Tracking AWAY from the Mid Atlantic. The onshore winds and sloshing water will push north of the center.There is still concern for some surge into the Southern Chesapeake Bay and erosion on the beaches to Ocean City and Delaware.
