Friday storm photos

Bill STifler/Hampden 

Thunderhead/HampdenBill Stifler has sent in more weather photos, this time from Friday's thunderstorms. He shoots mostly from locations in Hampden, in Baltimore City, proving that you don't need an exotic location to capture some great weather photos. Okay, for some, Hampden is pretty darned exotic.

Still, you can't argue with good photography. Be sure to visit Bill's weather photo page. Says he:

"These were taken in Hampden - from the roof of my place of 
employment. The ... lightning photos were taken later in the evening - 
one from my house and the others from [a parking] lot in 
Hampden ... I was seconds away from 
some really good lightning images, but these turned out ok. The recent 
pattern has provided good conditions for weather photo geeks like me."

The forecast for Baltimore today says we will have only a small chance for more showers tonight or tomorrow as a weak cold front continues to dawdle on its way east and out of the region.

The rest of the week looks sunny, or mostly so, with temperatures in the mid-80s - just a tad above the norms for this time of year. Overnight lows will be in the 60s.
