Buckle up, batten down
There are high wind watches up across our region. We're being told to expect sustained winds over 40 mph across most of the state tomorrow afternoon, with gusts above 58 mph, as this stormy cold front crosses the region. They're calling for high water along the bay shore, too - 1 to 2 feet above normal tides. They're already rising this afternoon, as this chart shows. (Click to enlarge.)
Also expect brief, heavy rains in thunderstorms and rapidly falling temperatures.
It was nearly 72 degrees here this afternoon at The Sun's monitoring station at Calvert and Centre streets. BWI reported 71 degrees this afternoon, too. The record for a Nov. 30 in Baltimore is 74 degrees, set downtown in 1933. The overnight readings are forecast to fall to 37 degrees by tomorrow night, and to 27 degrees by Monday night.

I have a theory that it gets really warm before we get a snow storm. Bring on the snow I need a day off!!

I'd like a day off, too. Unfortunately, when we have a snowstorm, my wife gets off, but my work just gets harder.
