I don't think we need to write much about the weather forecast for the next few days. Nothing but warm, sunshiney days and starry nights, from what I can see. Saturday's another story.

Forecasters out at Sterling say they're looking at another cold front moving through for the weekend, and it looks stronger than the one that moved through with a few thundershowers last night. That is raising the spectre of severe storms, with the chance for lightning, hail and damaging winds. They're putting the precip chances at 50 percent. No handicapping on the "severe" part yet.

A heavy storm over BWI could send Baltimore's rainfall totals for the month over the May record of 8.71 inches, set in 1989. We're at 7.52 inches today. It will be a stretch, but it's not inconceivable. (The May average at BWI is 3.89 inches.) 

This is already the second-wettest May here since record-keeping began in 1871.

More showers are in the forecast for Sunday, June 1. But the chances are smaller at 30 percent. That figures. Saturday is my only day off this weekend. Gotta work on Sunday.
