Tie down Toto
Better put a rope on Toto today. Also bring in the garbage cans, secure your trash and put some muscle at the wheel of the Winnebago. Big wind's coming this afternoon as a cold front reaches the area from the northwest.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory, warning of winds gusting in excess of 45 mph after the front reaches the I-95 corridor. Here's the advisory.
While our MarylandWeather.com forecast made mention of a possibility of thunderstorms arriving with the frontal passage, the National Weather Service discussion this morning downplays the possibility. We'll all find out in a few hours.
Behind the front we get into colder, drier air - colder than yesterday's highs in the 50s, and colder than the long-term averages for BWI at this time of year. But we won't be seeing the sort of arctic cold we saw last week, with lows in the teens and highs struggling to reach 30 degrees. Here's the official forecast.
