Morning report

Today is the day we get the impact of the unnamed tropical storm that swept through North Carolina. There is still some powerful energy, but it is concentrating the rain in a narrow area of ​​our region.

More and heavier rain is expected across parts of central and southern Maryland, with lighter rain and scattered showers in the north.

The easterly wind brings cool and moist air, and at higher altitudes there may be light rain or drizzle.

Onshore winds will continue to push water onto beaches and into the Chesapeake Bay as we continue to be under the influence of the supermoon.

Coastal Flood Warning

The extended easterly wind AND today’s full supermoon will keep water levels high. Flooding is expected during the high tide.

Flood in Annapolis:

Today: 05:43 AM; 06:12 PM

Morning Surface Weather

The landward current dominates with a cool and moist easterly wind.

The energy is expected to bring more rain to central and southern Maryland, with showers possible further north.

REPEATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I know there are some spelling and grammatical errors and occasional other mistakes. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches that I miss. I’ve made a few public statements over the years, but if you’re new here you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and discovered it during my sophomore year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to earn the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington area.

One of my professors told me that I had gotten this far without knowing it and that I shouldn’t let it be a crutch. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely right! I miss my own mistakes in my own proofreading. The automatic spell checker on my computer sometimes does an injustice to making it worse. I can also make mistakes in predicting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All the maps and information are accurate. The “wordy” stuff can get tricky.

There is no editor to check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to correct typos when she is available. That may be AFTER you have read this. I accept this and perhaps prove that what you are reading is truly mine… It is part of my charm. #FITF
