May 11 Monday Morning Report
Thank you for reading this post, don’t forget to subscribe!
A slow-moving system will allow a push of rain to expand into Central Maryland this morning. The approaching cold front will slowly push this to the south and bring late-day clearing in from the West. This will keep temps down to a chill, but we should get to see the sunset!
Tomorrow looks pleasant, then the next rain event on Wednesday will arrive later in the day and overnight.
A pattern change is still expected with sunshine and early summer heat next weekend.
Let’s Take A Look:

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 can also 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
