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

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

Happy Tuesday, Maryland!
It was quiet to start for most but rain is on the way. With increasing drought, it's pretty safe to say that wet weather will be welcomed by some!
This is the first of a few rain chances this week.
A few storms could be strong or severe
Enjoy your day! #mdwx

When there are no napkins . . . use a forecast sheet?
This is how Steve delivered today's forecast numbers to me after the 9AM show 😂
Yes, he fills in all of those numbers you see BEFORE the morning show starts! 🍴☀️ #wjz

I used to share "Mental Health Monday" and uplifting/grounding/self-care posts regularly online and I'm feeling the pull to do that now that the seasons are shifting
I hope you find one of them helpful ♥️ Have a great day!
