Impact Weather for possible severe thunderstorms Thursday afternoon in Maryland
Updated: 10:28 PM EDT Apr 3, 2025
METEOROLOGIST TOM TASSELMYER. ON THIS EARLY APRIL DAY, THE COOLEST TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NATION WERE IN THE CENTRAL AND WEST. THE WARM STUFF IS RIGHT HERE. MID-ATLANTIC, SOUTHEAST. IN FACT, MUCH OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES SEEING TEMPERATURES WARMER THAN NORMAL TODAY. THE NATION’S HIGH WAS DOWN IN TEXAS AT 106 DEGREES. IT’S LIKE MIDSUMMER DOWN. THERE. WASN’T QUITE THAT WARM AROUND HERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S ALL THE WAY FROM THE GULF COAST, UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD TO HERE IN BALTIMORE. PRETTY WARM UP INTO EVEN PARTS OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. BURLINGTON, VERMONT, AT 6865. IN BOSTON TODAY. WARMTH ACROSS OHIO INTO SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN, UP AROUND DETROIT. UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER. 80 AT BWI MARSHALL. 18 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE THIRD DAY OF APRIL. WE DID FALL EIGHT DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD, SO IT’S BEEN WARMER ON THIS DAY IN 1963, THE RECORD HIGH WAS SET AT 88 DEGREES, BUT IT’S STILL WARM OUT THERE, AND IT’S KIND OF MUGGY, TOO, FEELING LIKE ALMOST AN EARLY SUMMER EVENING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S ACROSS THE BALTIMORE METRO DOWN TO THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE. THERE ARE SOME SHOWERS APPROACHING, AND THIS IS THE FIRST SIGN OF THAT COOL FRONT MAKING ITS PUSH. A SLOW PUSH TOWARD BALTIMORE, SO IT’S GOING TO STAY RELATIVELY MILD OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, EVEN AS SOME RAIN SHOWERS MOVE IN. BUT EVENTUALLY WE’LL GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT FRONT WHERE THERE IS SOME COOLER AIR. AND THAT’S GOING TO COME FILTERING IN BEHIND THE FRONT. BUT AGAIN, IT’S KIND OF GRADUAL. SO TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING, HOLDING STEADY MOST OF THE DAY IN THE 60S. AND THEN IT GETS EVEN COOLER HEADING INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SO OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THERE’S STILL A CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND EVEN AN OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE. ALTHOUGH WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING SEVERE. YOU JUST MIGHT HEAR A COUPLE OF RUMBLES OF THUNDER AS THIS FRONT MAKES ITS WAY IN. BUT TEMPERATURES, EVEN TOMORROW MORNING WILL STILL BE AROUND THE 60 DEGREE MARK AND THEN ONLY MAKE IT INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S. SO WE START IN THE 60S AND FINISH THERE AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND GRADUALLY BRING IN SOME COOLER AIR. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE MORNING WITH A CLOUDY AND COOL AFTERNOON. 62 IN CUMBERLAND, 56, IN MCHENRY. STILL SOME 70S, BUT WAY DOWN IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. THEN ON SATURDAY, A MORE SIGNIFICANT PUSH OF COOL AIR. IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE A DRY DAY. CLOUDY, COOL. BUT AT LEAST THE RAIN WILL TAPER OFF FOR A DAY ON SATURDAY AROUND HERE. ALTHOUGH A THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. AFTER TONIGHT, THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN IS ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS AROUND 60. AND THEN AFTER THAT FRONT GOES THROUGH, IT’S A SIGNIFICANT COOLDOWN. HIGH TEMPERATURES THIS TIME OF YEAR IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S. THAT’S PRETTY CHILLY ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH LOWS I
