Wind Advisory After Heavy Rain As Tropical Storm Philippe Passes East

Sunday October 29

This is the most active weather map we have seen in a while. Today will start off as a warm day but it will be wet and a bit wild. We have a storm that will bring some of our area between 1 and 3 inches of rain. Most of us will be under a Wind Advisory Monday morning, and far western Maryland will get a few inches of snow. Tropical Storm Philippe was named yesterday and has moved through southern Florida. It has 45 mph winds this morning and it will NOT be our storm. But it is feeding moisture and energy into it. The maps below show our rain timeline and path of Philippe moves through the same region off of North Carolina that Gert, Jose, and Maria moved through (Atmospheric Memory).

Storm Highlights

There is some heavy rain this morning, but the second part of this storm will stronger. The hourly slider and animation for this storm are below. Low Pressure will pass less than 100 miles off of the coast. This location is seen on both the GFS and European Models. That will enhance the rain this evening and pull in the colder air on very strong winds behind it. Snow will be developing in Garrett County, MD by 8 PM and a few inches of accumulation are possible. FITF*. I am working to get out there and show it to you.

Note: The strongest winds will be developing as Low Pressure strengthens and moves away from us. If you are watching this track and subscribe to my atmospheric memory theory, this would be a good sign for a winter storm.

Wind Advisory

10 PM Sunday to 10 AM Monday

Winds: Steady 20 to 35 mph

Gusting 50 to 55 mph

This is NOT from Philippe and on the back end of our current storm. That is part of the push of colder air on the way.

Rain Timeline Today

Our day will have heavy rain this morning, then showers followed by more heavy rain later this afternoon and tonight. Temperatures will take a dive as colder air moves in behind our local storm. Our second way of rain tonight will be heavy and wind driven, while colder air will develop snow by 8 PM in western Maryland. There will be a few inches on the ground by Wisp and I am working to get out there and show you.

Atmospheric Memory: Here are three other tropical systems that passed in the same area this season…
