WELCOME BACK. IT’S 515 NOW. IT’S WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE’RE LOOKING LIVE FROM THE INNER HARBOR. THERE’S THE DOMINO SUGAR SIGN IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN. A LITTLE OFF CENTER, BUT RIGHT NOW IT’S QUIET, CLOUDY, AND ACTUALLY KIND OF COOL OR A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 DEGREES. BUT LATER ON TODAY, WE’LL SEE LITTLE WARMING. HOWEVER, BIG CHANGES WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. IN FACT, SOME MAPS AND MODELS SHOWING A LITTLE MORE INSTABILITY OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE IN THIS AREA. YOU SEE HERE, WHERE THERE COULD BE THE POTENTIAL OF A THUNDERSTORM THAT MAY PRODUCE A DAMAGING WIND GUST OR TWO, OR POTENTIALLY SEEING SOME HAIL AND MAYBE EVEN A TORNADO THREAT. BUT IT IS VERY LOW, JUST NOT COMPLETELY ZERO. THE PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT WE SEE WITH THOSE STRONGER STORMS. TIMING WISE. BETWEEN 3 P.M. AND 11 P.M. SO THE BULK OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS, THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL. SEEING THOSE STRONG STORMS OUT THERE AND THE IMPACTS FROM ANY STRONG OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE DOWNED TREES OR POWER LINES. SO POWER OUTAGES MAY BE ISOLATED. WITH THAT THREAT OUT THERE TODAY. RIGHT NOW, IT’S PRETTY DRY. AS I MENTIONED JUST A MOMENT AGO. SO SATELLITE AND RADAR HERE SHOWING YOU JUST A BIT OF CLOUD COVER OUT THERE THIS HOUR. NO RAIN TO TRACK AT THE MOMENT. BUT LATER ON THAT WILL CHANGE OUR FUTURECAST MODEL. I WANT TO STOP HERE AT LUNCHTIME. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME SHOWERS AROUND. THEY MIGHT BE THE HEAVIEST OUT WEST, BUT A FEW SPRINKLES CAN’T BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT. AS EARLY AS LUNCHTIME TODAY. I THINK THE BULK OF THE HEAVIER RAIN WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL WE GET DEEPER INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. YOU’LL NOTICE SOME REDS AND ORANGES KIND OF POPPING UP ON THE MAP. THAT’S AN INDICATION OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HERE IN OUR VIEWING AREA THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY, THOUGH, TAPERING OFF AFTER 11 P.M. SO OVERNIGHT, NOT A HUGE ISSUE. BEFORE YOU HEAD TO BED TONIGHT, JUST PRIMARILY DURING THE DAYLIGHT TIME AND MAYBE EVEN INTO THE EVENING AS WELL. BUT OVERALL THREAT IS GOING TO BE MARGINAL TODAY, TOMORROW, DIFFERENT STORY. IT’S GOING TO BE COOL. AND ALSO A LITTLE BREEZY. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE BELOW AVERAGE DESPITE HAVING SOME SUNSHINE AND PREDOMINANT NORTHWEST WIND IN PLACE. SO TOMORROW HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE STILL ONLY GOING TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. JUST A RECAP OF THOSE RAIN CHANCES THOUGH AS YOU SEE HERE AFTER THE LUNCH HOUR DEEPER INTO I WOULD SAY THREE FOUR EVEN ALL THE WAY TO 7:00, THOSE CHANCES REALLY SPIKING BY THIS EVENING. SO THAT DEFINITELY NEED THE RAINFALL. CERTAINLY WILL TAKE WHATEVER WE CAN GET BECAUSE WE ARE UNDER THAT SEVERE DROUGHT HERE IN PARTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND, RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS ANYWHERE BETWEEN A QUARTER TO A HALF OF AN INCH ON AVERAGE AREA WIDE. BUT THERE COULD BE SOME SPOTS LOCALLY THAT PICK UP OVER THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH. IF WE GET STORMS TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREA. OF COURSE, THUNDERSTORMS, ANY GARDEN VARIETY OUTSIDE OF THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING, SO RAIN THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY TODAY. THAT ISOLATED RISK FOR SEEING SEVERE WEATHER TEMPERATURES LIKELY ONLY GOING TO BE IN THE LOW 60S. MAJORITY OF THAT RAIN TAPERS OFF OVERNIGHT, AND IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER MILD ONE WITH A LOW OF 51 DEGREES. SO REALLY NOT SEEING A BIG CHANGE BETWEEN MORNING LOWS AND AFTERNOON HIGHS. SEVEN DAY FORECAST. THE ONLY IMPACT DAY, THE BIG WEATHER STORY TODAY BEING THAT THUNDERSTORM CHANCE. THIS WEEK THAT ONE COULD BRING US A FEW MORE SHOWERS. BUT IT’S REALLY THE COOL AIR THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE HIGHLIGH
