BLOG: Ups & Downs Continue

The spring ups and downs continue. Yesterday was our big up, now we are on the way back down again.

We did tie the record of 85 degrees yesterday afternoon. Then, a major cold front moved through early today. Although we were at 72 degrees at midnight and that will officially be our high on the day, temperatures are already down in the 50s at noon. Expect temperatures to hover in the upper 50s/near 60 for a few hours this afternoon before even cooler air over western Maryland starts moving our way. Lows will bottom out in the 40s and then we will likely not get out of the 50s for highs tomorrow.

After the morning burst of heavy rain, we got a short break but there is more where that came from. Rain is streaming up from the south and maybe even a few thunderstorms. Plus, the main low driving this entire system is still hanging back over Kentucky. It's a very slow mover and will continue to push rounds of rain and drizzle our way tonight and tomorrow. This storm will eventually weaken and move away, but not until tomorrow evening.

Sunshine will return on Thursday. When it does, temperatures will respond. We will begin another up Thursday afternoon with highs back in the upper 60s. The warmer air will hang around through Friday. Then, another storm will move our way Friday night into the weekend and knock temperatures back down again. There is the chance for rain and maybe even thunderstorms Friday night into early Sunday with this storm.
