Sunday May 27 2018

We start today with a tropical feel to the air. This is the part of Memorial Day Weekend we talked about all week as having the best chance of rain. It will be an afternoon and evening thing. It is warm and humid with a sense that something will give. We will have strong storms develop this afternoon the may be most intense this evening and tonight. This is not connected to Subtropical Storm Alberto that is located in the Gulf of Mexico. That storm has 40 mph winds this morning as Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi are under a State of Emergency for heavy rain. Some moisture is feeding into our weather system, but we may have a more direct impact from later at the end of the week ahead.

Today, our focus will be a stationary front drifting south. See two radar simulations with some difference in timing, plus the update on Alberto below.

The two sliders here are meant to compare and contrast the short range storm development today. Both show storm development in PA that will drift into metro Baltimore, plus secondary storm development from the south. This is surrounding the stationary front in our region.

  • Both show the strongest storms between 7 and 10 PM
  • HRRR– Has the storms beginning early afternoon after 1 PM
  • NAM – Has the main cluster worth watching after 5 PM
