"Invest 97L" has a high chance of becoming a tropical storm by next Sun.
Based on guidance, it could also become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season.

On average you'd expect the first hurricane ~mid-Aug.

We've got time to watch it with it being on the other side of the ocean

Good morning and Happy 63rd Independence Day Jamaica 🇯🇲
Wishing all of us with Jamaican ancestry and heritage an amazing day 💚💛🖤

Me when there are cats in studio:

Ravens hit the field in just a couple of days, Flock Nation. It's looking beautiful for the first preseason game Thursday evening.

Who's going?

Mornin mornin, #Maryland!
Cloudy start to your Tuesday but those clouds, however, aren't expected to produce showers today. Highs will return to the 80s with a bit more humidity. The humidity won't be tropical but you may notice

Good Tuesday morning!
If you're up before the sun, you can see two planets with the naked eye for the next few days.

The two bright spots appear to approach each other by early next week ⭐

Nearly a cloudfree start to a Sunday in Baltimore - I hope you all have a great day!

Good Sunday morning ☀️
Any Sunday sunrise pics to share, Maryland? Leave them below!
Who's waking up with us?

BIG difference in how #Maryland started August in 2024 vs starting the month in 2025! And yes, that 101° set a high temperature record for 8/1 at BWI.
If you're wondering - the coldest high temperature on August 1st? 69° all the way back in 1903 🥶
Which do you prefer?

Good morning and welcome to August!
It's 7 am and my windows are already open - so nice to wake up in the 60s 🙌🏽

Rainfall amounts as of 8:35 pm Thursday - multiple areas of 2-3+ inches in Maryland.

How is it where you are?
#maryland #mdwx

Multiple flash flood warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings at 3:30 this afternoon (Thursday). Rainfall is building up *quickly* under these storms.

Please take all warnings seriously and take it easy on the roads, Maryland.

Waterspout reported offshore of Bowleys Quarters Thursday afternoon
#mdwx #Maryland

Few storms bubbling up before noon - keep an eye on changing weather conditions this afternoon as storms could be strong and our flash flood threat is elevated.

I'll be looking for your reports this afternoon along with the rest of the First Alert team
#mdwx #maryland #baltimore

Possible severe storms and flash flooding to close out July in Maryland and some surrounding areas like se Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey #greenscreen #maryland #baltimore #weather

Denise essentially said this map is goofy 😂
Bangor feels almost 30° warmer than LA

Just in case you need a few cooler thoughts to get through these heat alert days 🏈 🍁
#maryland

Are we heading into August or September?

The calendar says one thing while the temps are saying another
#maryland #mdwx #baltimore

I've been saying I was gonna break out my summer hats for a while now because that sun is no joke on top of TV Hill!

Another steamy + sunny + little smoky is on tap for Tuesday, Maryland 🌞

Wildfire smoke from Canada makes its way closer to the ground in Maryland and the mid-Atlantic again on Tuesday.
"Moderate" air quality in the forecast

Monday motivation 📈

Two meteor showers peak at the end of July #astronomy #space #greenscreen #hobby

O's got the game in and a "W" this afternoon but now it's pouring in and around Baltimore close to 5pm

Some folks have lost power with this storm
#mdwx

We've heard your complaints. It'll soon feel more like fall in Maryland, neighbors
#greenscreen #maryland #baltimore #weather

Wildfire smoke from Canada will be adding a little haze to our skies in the next couple of days.

Looking at near-surface smoke, it'll be more noticeable on Monday due to two things:
1- clearer skies
2- higher concentration

Back from vacation and on the same wavelength with Janay Reece
Our birthdays are only a few days apart so it was bound to happen eventually 🧡🦀

Might get myself a few blocks for this one 😅
One of my apps told me that sunrise was at 6am today . . . I looked it up and we're already losing over a minute and a half of daylight each day (and that number is increasing 😭 ).

There's still a lot of summer left to go, through!
#mdwx #maryland

It's a top 5 weather day today in Maryland but enjoy it while it lasts --
Later this week it looks like another heat wave builds in and tropical feeling humidity returns. Feels like temperatures will approach and surpass the 100° mark before the weekend.

#mdwx #maryland #weather #baltimore

Dropped down into the 60s . . . and a few 50s overnight in Maryland 👀 Humidity is on the low end, too

Enjoy, everyone!

A comfortable night is ahead of us, ideal for sitting under the stars (+planets)

Mercury is too close to the sun to see. Venus will be close to the crescent moon in the AM. Look quickly for Mars in the W after sunset and E before dawn for Jupiter (below Venus)

Find Saturn early Tue moving E to S
