Scattered showers and storms today

Despite the clouds and scattered showers, highs today will still climb to near 70 degrees. A weak disturbance will move through this afternoon, bringing a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms through this evening.

The area of high pressure that has been anchored off the Carolina coast will continue to dominate our weather. Expect the marine layer to move back into the area tonight, bringing more foggy conditions for tomorrow morning.

Foggy start, showers and storms possible this afternoon

A back door cold front has moved through central Maryland and has stalled out just west of Washington, DC. This has allowed cooler, moist marine air to move into central and eastern Maryland.

Expect the front to be pushed back to the east as an upper level disturbance moves through this afternoon, bringing with it a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of these showers and storms could produce locally heavy rain and gusty winds. Highs today will top out in the upper 60s to around 70 under partly sunny skies.

The warmth continues

As we remain under the influence of high pressure, sunny skies and warm temperatures will continue today with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Sunshine continues tomorrow and it looks to be a few degrees warmer than today with highs in the low 80s. A new record high may be set tomorrow as the current record at BWI is 82.

As southerly flow continues to bring in the warmth, it will also bring in higher dew points which will set the stage for our next storm system.
