We've peaked; cold front next
The thermometer peaked at 85 degrees here around 4 p.m. beside the Big-shot Lot at The Sun. It was 81 at BWI-Marshall. The barometer is falling now and it's all downhill from here as this cold front approaches from the north.
There are watches and warnings up all across Pennsylvania and Ohio as the potential for some severe thunderstorms rides along with the front as it plows into the warm air we've been enjoying. I'd expect they would cross the Mason-Dixon Line before long and begin to affect Maryland.
Look for sharply different weather here tomorrow, with highs only in the 60s and gray, wet weather clear through Saturday. For a glimpse of our future, visit Erie, Pa.
