Morning Report
Baltimore hit 98ºF yesterday for the second time this summer. The latest numbers for BWI also show 21 days total at or above 90ºF. If it helps, Death Valley, CA, hit 128ºF yesterday, so it could be worse, right?
Today, we will add another to the list, and the humidity will make it feel like 105ºF, prompting another Heat Advisory.
The heat will remain as the humidity increases during the week. The remains of Beryl are tracking well west of our region up the Mississippi River Valley and towards Michigan. The entire eastern US will get the secondary influence of a very tropical air mass with high humidity. This will eventually bring us increased daily thunderstorms.
Another day with afternoon Heat Index values up to 105ºF.
Another Very Warm Start!
Hot, humid, and very uncomfortable! In fact dangerous for many to be outside for an extended period of time. As Beryl continues to move inland to the North, some of that moisture may influence our weather in the days ahead.

Sunset at 8:35 PM
Normal Low in Baltimore: 68ºF
Record 54ºF in 1984
Normal High in Baltimore: 89ºF
Record 103ºF 1936
Hot and Humid AGAIN. Storms are likely in the evening.
As the remains of Beryl track towards Michigan, we can see some influence from Beryl adding tropical moisture along the frontal boundary… This may slow down or stall on Thursday and Friday. We will NOT get the storm in an organized form, but we will see more thunderstorms each day through Friday.
HOT AND STEAMY! Increased risk for strong to severe thunderstorms. The best chance for rain will be Friday, then back to the high heat into early next week.
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
