Overnight low close to record

The mercury sank to a chilly 42 degrees overnight at BWI-Marshall Airport. That was just 3 degrees warmer than the record low of 39 degrees, set for this date in 1961. Tomorrow's record low is 41 degrees, set back in 1963, so we were clearly flirting in record territory.

Allegany County has freeze warnings out again tonight. The low was 38 last night, with a forecast low of 31 tonight.

Fortunately, the trend is toward warmer days (and nights) ahead. We'll likely see the 80s at BWI by Thursday or Friday. The warm-up comes with a threat, albeit slight, of showers. But the lineup for the long Memorial Day weekend looks great. The threat of showers should end by Saturday, forecasters are saying, clearing the decks for sunny, mild weather (in the 70s) for the balance of the holiday.

Do not worry. Our weather pattern will be warming up. I will send you a forecast for the month of June in the very near future.
