Morning Report
The unusually cool end of August has an added note worth mentioning today. While the 40s may be a little more expected in the mountains, they are not at the beach. This morning, the low temperature was exactly the same: 48°F in McHenry, MD, near 3,000 feet in elevation, and Salisbury to Ocean City, MD, at sea level by the beach.
Morning LOW Temperatures
Labor Day Weekend continues to support hoodies and bonfires. Today a light breeze will pick up from the Northeast, keeping afternoon temps in the 70s. That is nearly 19 degrees below average.
This cool pattern will repeat all weekend and then get reinforced next week. We need to address the dry conditions as well. The next chance for rain will arrive by Thursday, only to be followed by even cooler air into next weekend. That may be it for a while, with a warm-up into the middle of the month.
LOCAL WEATHER TODAY
Surface Weather
High Pressure continues to dominate with a cool air mass. The dynamics of this will help focus a light wind from the Northeast today. This will keep temps cooler than average.
Wind Forecast 8 AM to 8 PM
Light Breeze from the Northwest.

A cluster of showers will develop ahead of the next cold front. This is expected to combine with Low Pressure to slow the next air mass down and keep us under the risk of rain for a few days.
Friday Morning
NOAA Temperature Outlook
The strongest push of cold air will arrive by the end of next week.
It should be noted that often, an early-season cooldown is met with a late taste of summer to balance things out. We can still have a hot spell in mid- to late September.

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
