July 31 Weather Cooler Rain Today And Hurricane Isaias Is Stronger

Friday July 31 2020

This is going to go down as the hottest month on record for Baltimore and many other locations. But we end the month today with a refreshing rain and much cooler air. Rain will be moderate at times, as intermittent showers will continue into the afternoon, then gradually end from north to south.

This weekend remains somewhat humid so showers and storms remain a risk. The main focus will be shifting to Hurricane Isaias. Winds are up to 80 mph this morning and the track takes it up the east coast early next week. See more below.

Looking Ahead:

I am showing this model animation for storms Saturday evening into Sunday morning, then more scattered showers.

It brings Hurricane Isaias close to Ocean City, but I believe the track will shift farther east see more below.

Forecast Track Cone

The general idea is for a direct hit on the Bahamas but the core remaining east of Miami and Florida. There will be storm surge and rough water.

There could be a hit on OBX, but the center of this cone is east of Ocean City. The trend has been for each new forecast to shift on the right side of the cone.
