Nor'easter keeps cool, breezy weather in Maryland's forecast
A powerful offshore storm to our east and high pressure nearby will allow for a beautiful fall week ahead. This dry stretch of weather will be rather impressive and extend right into the weekend.
Nor'easter stays safely off Maryland coast this week
A storm system is set to slowly and erratically meander across the northwestern Atlantic through the middle of the workweek.
A large and powerful nor'easter will stay offshore, keeping the worst impacts from rain and wind out over the ocean. High tides along with a gusty breeze will impact communities along the Atlantic Ocean beginning Tuesday, continuing through early Thursday. Significant beach erosion is expected extending from Assateague Island northward along the Maryland and Delaware beaches through the workweek thanks to high tides and rough surf.
While it won't change any impacts, there is a medium chance that this Nor'easter could develop some subtropical characteristics and get upgraded, named by the National Hurricane Center. The next name on the list is Josephine.
Crisp, comfortably cool, breezy and dry weather rule the workweek forecast across the Baltimore area. It will be breezy during the afternoons and early evenings. The windiest weather should stay along the beaches. Some minor coastal flooding is expected along the bay around times of high tide on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. More significant tidal flooding is expected in Ocean City, which will be closer to the storm.
Temperatures will remain seasonable, with afternoons in the mid to upper 60s. Temperatures will bottom-out in the 40s to lower 50s early each morning. The nor'easter will be far enough east that skies should remain mostly clear.
Even cooler weather next weekend in Baltimore
As the storm offshore pulls away, a fresh batch of chilly air will settle into Maryland. Details still need to be ironed out, but another widespread frost is possible next Saturday or Sunday morning along with sunny and cool afternoons. Fall color will continue to increase across Maryland.
It may end up being a great weekend to get out and see some color across the Baltimore metro, central, northern and northeastern Maryland.
The Ravens game Sunday looks exceptional, weatherwise! Tailgaters will have to endure some colder temperatures Sunday morning in the 30s and lower 40s. By kickoff, temperatures will be in the low to mid-60s with plenty of sunshine. Wind shouldn't be a big factor either.
