Hang on ... sunshine is on the way

The sunshine will begin to raise daytime temperatures out of the dank 50s, climbing into the low 70s on Thursday, about average for this time of year in Baltimore. The rest of the week and the weekend should bring clear skies, sunny days in the low 70s, and starry nights around 50 degrees. NO heater, no AC necessary. Perfect October weather.

Clouds may begin to increase early next week as the next dose of low pressure moves this way out of the Ohio Valley. That may come with showers by Tuesday or Wednesday, if the forecast holds up.

One other note. If you look at the satellite water vapor loop in the first link above, you can see that the river of tropical moisture that gave us such a soaking late last week continues to flow north, just off the coast and just east of our pesky low. The gusher is currently aimed at New England, which is grappling with heavy rain and flooding today.
