October 13 Summer Breeze For Ravens Hosting Commanders Game Then Cold Surge And First Frost This Week

Sunday, October 13, 2024

Sunday Morning Report

This weekend will end with what may be the last taste of summer. A strong wind will build in from the South, allowing a surge into the 80s across metro areas.

Temps will be very warm at the Ravens football game in Baltimore hosting the nearby Washington Commanders.  The wind will be picking up across the field and may help you feel more comfortable in all outdoor activities. If you are shaded from the wind, it may feel hot!

That will change with a series of cold fronts. The first push of cooler winds on Monday may lead to rain and snow showers in the high mountains to our west. Then, a reinforcing shot on Tuesday will drop our temps into the deep Fall Levels.

We may get our first frost this week… away from the cities. While temperatures support this on Tuesday morning, the wind may still be too strong. A calmer wind and colder temperatures will likely bring the frost on Wednesday morning.

Morning Surface Weather

High Pressure will shift to allow winds from the South to push in warmer air. A small Low Pressure riding the warm front to our north should keep the storms to our north in central PA to New York and New England.

This will enhance the wind pulling in FROM THE SOUTH.

A series of cold fronts will arrive Monday and Tuesday. This will surge in colder air for a few days and bring in deep fall chill and maybe the first frost for many this week.

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
