Wednesday Morning Report

It’s deja vu all over again! We remain stuck in this repeating pattern with High Pressure dominating the East Coast pumping in warmer winds from the Southwest. The active weather and colder air remain in the Western US.

Temps will approach record territory in some areas but likely just miss in Baltimore.

The weekend will bring another cool down, only to be followed by ANOTHER warm up next week!  The pattern change is more than one week away, so late summer temps are not done yet.

Morning Surface Weather

Here is our warm-up! High Pressure continues to set up off the East Coast and pump in warmer winds from the Southwest. The next cold front will get active with strong to severe thunderstorms. The colder air on the other side will make a brief visit this weekend.

Drought Update

Baltimore only recorded significant rain on October 1. Barely measurable on the 2nd and a trace on the 4th. So essentially, it has been about 4 weeks since we had rain:

  • Oct 1 = 0.35”
  • Oct 2 = 0.01
  • Oct 3 = 0.00
  • Oct 4 – Trace…

Baltimore Stats:

Rainfall DOWN -5.75” since Sep 1

We can thank the winds from the Southwest for pumping in the heat.

Wider View

High Pressure off the East Coast and the cold front to the west will help funnel the warm winds in…

That cold front may be responsible for severe weather in the Mid-West…

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
