August 1 Weather Cooler With Rain Showers And A Breeze Then Pleasant Weekend

Friday, August 1 2025

Morning Report

Yesterday’s storms lived up to expectations, with torrential downpours and flash flooding. Rainfall totals pushed over 3 inches for many areas in Central Maryland, with some spots getting over 5 inches.

The storm reports included flooding, wind damage, and a tornado that pulled over the water in Annapolis.

Today, there will be a cool breeze and still some unsettled drizzle and rain showers. This will keep temperatures in the 70s for the first time since June 27.

The weekend will have chilly mornings and sunny, warm afternoons.

For now, it looks like we’ll hold off on the next chance for rain until the second half of next 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
