BALTIMORE — During the day on Thursday, clouds will begin to increase and winds will shift to a southerly flow as the influences of Nicole will begin to warm us up. This will usher in much warmer air as well as a deep push of tropical moisture ahead of the storm. This will set us up for a very active day on Friday. The day will start off with plenty of clouds and warm air surging in to Maryland with a few showers popping up during the late morning. As Nicole continues to race north, the day will become more unsettled as we then begin to see our storm fuel increase and strong thunderstorms and heavy rain become more widespread. Some thunderstorms may get to severe strength and produce gusty damaging winds and even a brief tornado. But the remnants of Nicole will also bring in a very windy setup where wind speeds will reach close to 20 mph with wind gusts will get as high as 35 mph. Be sure to stay weather aware! The heaviest rain will occur overnight and bring about a total of 1.5 to 2 inches of rain. Saturday will begin to see a drier second half with temperatures dropping. This will leave us with a much colder Sunday through Tuesday as temperatures struggle to get into the upper 40s. Then by next week, we see yet another chance for rain thanks to another quick moving system.
