Still quiet to end Fri and start Sat... Clouds from Isaias reached Maryland Fri PM. We keep clouds around thru Sat but rain doesn't start until after sunset. There's also a low possibility for severe weather. Heavy rainfall is the greatest impact. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #mdwx #hurricane

Wednesday early evening update on Isaias has its remnants taking a northeast turn this weekend. It is on track to become the first hurricane of the season within the next day

Check this out! That's Jupiter near the moon this past Tuesday during an event called "occultation" (when one crosses "in front of" the other). 📸 Kip Eaton-Stewart

Now that we have "Isaias", you may be seeing the forecast cone online. This is a reminder that the cone forecasts only where the *center* of a storm may go. Isaias spans for hundreds of miles. Maryland isn't expecting a direct hit, but it still looks likely we'll feel some impact

High pressure continues to bring quiet to Maryland midweek. HP will shift offshore and our winds will change direction. It's a little milder midweek and even warmer Thu. Saturday still looks like a winner! Sunday we may be dealing with leftover tropical moisture @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #mdwx

Tropical depression nine has formed as of Tue PM. Nine is currently expected to become the 1st hurricane of the Atlantic season before the end of the week. "Isaias" is the next name on the list (ee-sah-ee-iss) We could see impacts in Maryland from whatever is left of this storm Sun

Up early on Tuesday 10/6? You may be able to see Jupiter pass behind the moon in what's called a "lunar occultation". Jupiter rises close to the moon in the east around 2:45 am. You can see the two cross over from about 3:30 to 6:00 am. It'll be more difficult to see as the skies brighten.

Behind a cold front, temps tonight fall into the 40s (maybe a few upper 30s) by Tuesday morning. Tuesday will be cool with highs only in the 60s. It won't stay cool too long. Thu is the warmest day of the week before another dry cold front. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #mdwx #wjz

Still tracking showers for the weekend but a little improvement as of Wed PM. Saturday is trending drier after showers Fri PM into the wee hours of Saturday. Expect a big temperature swing over the next week - we could go from near 90° to mornings in the low 40s @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #mdwx

Tropics check: A tropical storm & tropical depression are in the Atlantic but neither is a threat to the East Coast ZERO hurricanes in the Atlantic so far. A strong El Nino is to thank for a quieter season. Sep 28 is the avg. (averaged b/t 1991-2020) date for the 5th Atlantic hurricane to form.

We're STILL in the grips from this nor'easter. High pressure takes over control of our weather as the #noreaster moves farther away. Hello sunshine! Warmer air is expected around midweek. Warm air - and dry conditions - are short-lived, however. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #maryland #mdwx

Today (9/26) is what's known as the "equilux", the day we *actually* have almost equal day and night in Baltimore. We have 11 hrs 58 min 58 sec of daylight today. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #maryland

We'll have gusty winds Friday night into Saturday with this nor'easter. Wind intensity decreases the farther inland you are. Winds will also come down during the day but remain gusty throughout Saturday. #mdwx #noreaster

A few showers/storms this eve into Fri AM. Cold front crosses early Fri and humidity falls Fri - Sat AM. Humidity builds back in Sat PM - Sun PM. Speaking of Sunday... Outdoor events may be impacted by showers and storms. Storms aren't expected to be severe. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #mdwx

Anyone else noticing some of the trees changing and some leaves falling already? Around Maryland, you'd expect peak color around October into early November. The longer nights we've been experiencing are the first step for the changing foliage. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social #fall #foliage #mdwx

Summer's not over yet! Temps climb into the mid and upper 80s Thu. afternoon. Humidity stays manageable with scattered showers and a few storms. Friday and Saturday look pretty good! Humidity peaks Friday AM and drops. Sunday's our best rain/storm chance this weekend. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social

Watching this cluster of storms moving out of the Great Lakes and through w PAa. The best chance for storms in/around Baltimore looks like after sunset into early Friday. Western Maryland is under a severe thunderstorm watch through midnight. This could be expanded to include other areas of MD

Get ready for another round of heat indices in the triple digits Thursday as the 90s return. A cold front approaches on Thursday and storms out ahead of it bring the best chance for severe weather this week. #mdwx #maryland #baltimore @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social

Sunday was our second wettest day at BWI for the year so far. The first? That big snow (/sleet/ice) storm from late January! @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social
1.3 inches was reported at Baltimore Washington International Airport on Sunday, August 2nd, 2026. This was the second highest precipitation report of 2026 so far, after January 25. The January 25 total was 1.77 inches of liquid equivalent to the snow/sleet/ice that fell on that day.

And this is before the humidity is factored in... We'll be approaching record heat this week into the holiday weekend. BUT, record or not: this is dangerous heat on its way to Maryland. Make sure you and anyone vulnerable near you are okay ahead of this heat wave. @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social
