BALTIMORE - Spring is marked by showers and we need a lot of rain! It has been a dry stretch this year. We, so far (April 6th) have seen 7.17" of precip. That is 3.51 inches below average (year to date). Normally we would have seen 10.68 inches so far. That average is based off of the past 30 years. What makes that worse is that we came into this year under drought conditions. It will be an active week with multiple rain chances, so here is to hoping we can get more showers to curb this deficit.

Share BALTIMORE — Our active pattern brings another chance for storms into Thursday. Some could be strong to even severe. You can see above our area is mostly under a level 2 out of 5 for severe weather. The eastern shore is largely under a level 1 out of 5. There is hope that these storms weaken as they get closer, but don't drop your guard. Thursday starts off cloudy and warm with temperatures in the 50s.

Share BALTIMORE — Strong to severe storms are possible on Monday. Our area is under a "slight" risk for severe weather. That is a level 2 out of 5. In fact, the entire state is under a slight risk. Storm timing: By morning, a few spotty showers are possible. As temperatures build into the afternoon, a few isolated strong to severe storms develop. By the early evening, these storms will form into a line. There will be some lingering rain after 9 pm but our severe threat will be moving out.

BALTIMORE - Have you noticed the wind this month? Maybe you have been asking yourself if it has been windier lately. You're not alone. I forecast the weather every day and have found myself asking that too. March is our windiest month! I went back and looked at the numbers over the past few years. So far, (23 days into March 2025) our average wind speed has been 9.1 miles per hour.

Wind gusts today have been incredibly strong. There is still a high wind warning in place until 10 pm. We had to do the newscast on generator. There are a lot of power flashes and outages. Winds will be a bit better tomorrow, but still strong. https://t.co/DhQKskQlSr
