Sunny today; Cold front Wednesday

High pressure will remain overhead today, leading to sunny skies and high temperatures in the low to mid 70s.

The high will slide off the coast tomorrow, allowing southerly flow to develop. This will increase moisture and lead to increasing clouds through the day. Highs will be in the mid 70s.

A cold front will approach tomorrow night and pass through Wednesday night. The front will bring showers and possibly thunderstorms to the region during the day Wednesday. Some of the storms could be severe with damaging winds. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Generally, 1-4″ of rain has fallen west of the bay, leading to areas of flooding. Highs this afternoon will be in the upper 60s.

Cold front approaches today, brings heavy rain tonight into tomorrow

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect for counties west of the bay, excluding St. Mary’s and Calvert.

A cold front with ample moisture is slowly moving towards the region today. Ahead of the front, easterly flow has continued, resulting in fog and misty conditions.

As the front approaches, the flow should shift to a more southerly direction and intensify, scouring out the low level moisture. Expect this to occur this afternoon, resulting in breaks in the cloud cover and breezy conditions.

The front will be close enough late this afternoon to trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms before the more widespread rainfall moves in this evening. Highs today will be in the low to mid 70s.

A cold front will approach tomorrow, first pushing a warm front through during the morning. This will lead to a partly sunny afternoon with breezy southeast winds. Highs will be around 80.

Rain chances will increase dramatically tomorrow night and Friday. Expect more widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms. The rain could be heavy at times. Highs on Friday will be in the low 70s.

Hot and humid to start the week; Scattered thunderstorms possible

High pressure to our south and a cold front to our west will create southerly flow and pump warm, humid air into the region. This will allow isolated thunderstorms to pop up this afternoon. Highs today will be in the upper 80s to around 90.

Tomorrow will be similar to today, continued hot and humid with scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Highs will be around 90.

High pressure will develop to our northeast Tuesday night and Wednesday. This will turn winds back to the east and set up on shore flow. This will cool temperatures back to around 80 for highs on Wednesday. There will be ample cloud cover and isolated to scattered showers are possible.

Warm front will touch off scattered showers and thunderstorms

A frontal boundary to our south will push northward today. This will cause scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop across the area this afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 60s.

A disturbance will move along the front tonight, bringing another chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm during the overnight and into tomorrow morning.

Skies should then gradually clear and afternoon highs should push well into the 70s.
