Friday May 15

I just want to remind you that this past weekend we had snow showers and early this week we had frost.  Today we expect temperatures to reach the mid 80s surrounding central Maryland, and there might be a few thunderstorms. The main action will be with the risk for severe storms across Pennsylvania and New York.

Temperatures will cool over the weekend and we will have to watch for more showers. We could also have the first named tropical system of the season between Florida and the Bahamas that will roll up the coast. While not a direct impact, it will feed into another system that likely will bring us a few days of heavy rain and cooler temps next week. More on that below.

As we jump into the 80s, it will also be a bit humid. This will definitely feel like a summer day.

While the main energy will be to the north, heat and humid can help develop scattered storms during the afternoon.

Tropical Development?
Watching the potential for a subtropical storm to develop between Florida and The Bahamas over the weekend. There is now a great than 80% chance this will get named Saturday or Sunday. If it get’s named, it will be Arthur.

Forecast Track and Impact
The modeling now keeps this storm track closer to the coast.  t still is NOT expected to make landfall in the US. It will increase the waves and beach erosion. It will also feed winds into another weather system that is likely to stall over our region next week.
