Central MD Weather Conditions

Posted by: cws6196, 02:13 AM GMT del 21 Maggio 2012

Looking at the latest data it appears TS Alberto will not impact central nor S MD. He is still along the SC coast but is drifting out to sea.

We will see rain the next couple days with scattered thunderstorms, but these are NOT from the TS. Over the next couple days a Low pressure system will move into VA along with a cold front, both contributing to the rain.

tropical development & Maryland

Posted by: cws6196, 04:37 PM GMT del 19 Maggio 2012

Officially, hurricane season starts June 1, but we already have an area of interest (called an Invest) off the South Carolina coast. The National Hurricane Center is currently giving this a 50% chance for developing into a tropical storm. Currently the models are all over the place with this system, and will continue to be so until it is a better organized system. Thunderstorms are starting to develop near the center which is typically a sign of strengthening. H...

new weather forecasting tool

Posted by: cws6196, 03:59 PM GMT del 14 Maggio 2012

We need the rain, so today's and tomorrow's showers are a good sign. Some of the rain we see could be quite heavy at times, and there is a slight chance for scattered, non-severe, thunderstorms.Below is an article from the Baltimore Sun talking about a new forecast model from NOAA. This new model should help in what is termed "now-casting", distinct from forecasting, the former focuses on current conditions what may happen in another hour from that time. This is ...

Friday storms in Maryland

Posted by: cws6196, 01:18 PM GMT del 04 Maggio 2012

Ok, I know I said this the other day and nothing happened, but this afternoon into the evening there is a good chance for scattered thunderstorms. What happened the other day is that the frontal boundary I had mentioned did not shift where it was forecast to shift, causing low temps for central and Southern MD, while those in Carroll county and west saw some storms as their temps where in the 70s and humid. Last night's storms in northern central MD were impressiv...
