April 25 After A Frosty Start We Remain Chilly And Turn Rainy

April 25, 2023

Tuesday Morning Update

We start this day very chilly with frost and freeze conditions inland. Even if you are not that cold, it will feel like we turned the clock back a month as we enter an extended period of cooler temps. This will come with a sequence of storms. While it will affect another weekend, it will be beneficial to our drought.

The weather pattern we see for the next two weeks is what I expected to end our winter. This is very late and we can only say ‘what if’, on top of setting the clock back on the season.

Morning Frost and Freeze Alerts

These alerts officially expire at 8 AM.

Morning Temperature Observation 

Plenty of 30s inland and possible frost. The freezing temps appear to be west of Frederick and York.

Morning Surface Weather

High Pressure is over the Mid Atlantic, meaning a sunny day with light wind. We will remain chilly. And watch the next quick moving system near Chicago set to reach us Wednesday.

Behind that will be a few more storms that reach us this weekend.

Storm Forecast Animation

Friday Morning To Monday Morning

Two storms around our weekend. First arrives on Friday, the second will be later Sunday into Monday. In between there will be dry hours during the weekend. However, it will remain unsettled with a chilly and damp feel.

Friday Afternoon

This will be the start of the first of the two storms. A steady rain will arrive during the day and lock in the chilly air. Not the best start to the last weekend of April.

Monday Morning

There is still room for adjustment. However, as of now there appears to be an attempt for a coastal Nor’easter to bring a wind chipped chilly rain. Behind this storm will be a reinforcing push of chilly air.

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 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 predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor that can check my work when I needed it and 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 able. 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.
