Sunday, July 6 2025

Morning Report

Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall this morning around 4 AM in Litchfield Beach, SC. Winds were 50 mph, which will weaken as it continues inland. The broad reach of tropical storm winds extended 115 miles away.

Flash Flooding continues along and east of the path with heavy rain bands. The core Low will weaken to a tropical depression and pass through Southern Maryland on Monday. This will open more humid air to interact with an approaching cold front that may have a wider reach of severe storms on Tuesday.

This is a suggestion. There is a potential for isolated spots that may receive higher amounts.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
