Happy first heavenly birthday (12/23) to my uncle who we lost in October 💔
Lost a grandmother on Christmas Eve more than a decade ago 💔

To anyone struggling to find the "merry" or "happy" in this season for whatever reason, let this be your reminder that that is okay.

Unintentionally festive at 11 last night along Bryant and Tara.
Hope you're all having a good holiday season

Halfway through December and every single day has been colder than normal.
These numbers take into account the high and low temperatures for each day at BWI

24-hour probability of ≥ 1" of snow ending Sunday evening, Dec 15 (as of Wed PM 12/10) ❄️
Ensembles, which run the same model many times but with a slight tweak for each, are showing a chance for light accumulation to Maryland Sat-Sun

Couple of chances for snow in Maryland - Friday into Saturday and Saturday into Sunday.

Watching the Sat-Sun storm more closely... looks like a better chance for some light accumulation

Snow day in PG County ❄️ Visited my parents for a couple days and woke up in a snowglobe on this Friday

Please take it easy driving, everyone. We all have somewhere to be so let's get there safely

I've been accused of "hype" and causing panic at least three times this week 😅

Listen, I'm a certified snow hater and THEE *last* one you need to worry about overhyping a winter storm 🤣

I will say . . . one of those comments called me a "weather man" so some are probably bots 😉

Please be cautious of weather AI videos and pictures created for clout and likes

I've already seen some allegedly from Jamaica

I hope everyone has a great Friday. Let's make a little personal sunshine this weekend (and every day)! ☀️ 💛

New drought monitor comes out Thu and I'm expecting another increase in how much of Maryland is in

This graphic shows Maryland drought since the beginning of 2024

PS -- the weekly drought monitor data ends each Tues at 8am so any mid or late week rain won't be included until the following week

Wear pink on Wednesday? Check
Longer sleeves behind a cold front? Check
Hide band-aid from new cat scratch? Check

Halloween is still more than a week away but it's looking like it may be a cool evening for trick-or-treaters 🎃
October 22, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Halloween is next week and we return to standard time that same weekend!
Shortest day of the year (winter solstice) is just 60 days away ❄️ @cbsnewsbaltimore.bsky.social

BIG rainfall potential in the Caribbean from tropical storm Melissa.
There's also uncertainty so there can be BIG forecast changes depending on how this storm ends up developing and moving in the coming days.

Keep an eye on this forecast if you have family in Jamaica, Haiti or the DR
