DATA. NOW YOUR L TV 11 WEATHER FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST TONY PANN. NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IS 60 DEGREES. AND OBVIOUSLY TODAY WE’RE GOING TO BE WELL ABOVE THAT MARK. IT’S ALREADY IN THE UPPER 70S THIS AFTERNOON AND THE WEATHER IS QUIET RIGHT NOW. THE SUN IS OUT AND A LOT OF PLACES. BUT DON’T LET THAT FOOL YOU. THE SUNSHINE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GIVE SOME ENERGY TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND HELP CREATE THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON, BUT IT’S NICE RIGHT NOW, 78 DEGREES AT BWI MARSHALL, A SOUTHWEST WIND AT 11MPH, WIDE RANGE IN TEMPERATURES AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR. IT’S 68. IN MIDDLE RIVER, 65 IN ANNAPOLIS. THAT’S BECAUSE THE WIND IS COMING OFF THE WATER. BUT ONCE YOU GET INLAND, IT’S PRETTY CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES IN A LOT OF PLACES. 73 IN THE HEREFORD ZONE OF BALTIMORE COUNTY. BUT IT’S ALREADY 80 IN COLUMBIA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80 ON AVERAGE. WATCHING A STORM SYSTEM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS. THAT’S RIGHT. NOW PRODUCING SOME BIG THUNDERSTORMS DOWN TO THE SOUTH OF US. BUT THAT ENERGY IS GOING TO MOVE UP TOWARDS THE MID-ATLANTIC, AND THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS US IN THE RISK AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE THAT RISK EXTENDS FROM NEW YORK CITY ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO VIRGINIA. SO LET’S TIME IT OUT ON FUTURECAST AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE OUT FOR THE NEXT 2 OR 3 HOURS. I DON’T THINK YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY PRECIPITATION. AGAIN, THEY’LL GET THE O’S GAME OFF STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT BY 3:00 YOU CAN SEE THE COMPUTER MODEL TRYING TO DEVELOP A COUPLE OF HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BY 5:00 THEY BECOME A LITTLE MORE NUMEROUS. YOU SEE A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS EXTENDING JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF I-95 BY 6 OR 7:00. I THINK THAT’S THE BEST TIME OR THE MOST LIKELY TIME THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MOVE THROUGH THE BALTIMORE METRO. SO STAY WEATHER ALERT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. SOME OF THOSE STORMS COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS, AND EVEN A SMALL CHANCE FOR TORNADOES. BY 9:00, THAT LINE OF HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ON TO THE EASTERN SHORE, AND THEN IT WILL HEAD OUT TO SEA AND SOME LINGERING RAIN WILL BE WITH US 10 OR 11:00. BUT THE WEATHER SHOULD SETTLE DOWN AFTER THAT. SO THE FORECAST GOES LIKE THIS. MIX SUN AND CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON A CHANCE FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE DAY. BREEZY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE BETWEEN 77 AND 82. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TONIGHT. THE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE THIS EVENING, THEN SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S, AND IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT COOLER ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. IT WILL BE DRY BOTH DAYS, BUT THE HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK INTO THE 50S OVERNIGHT. LOWS IN THE 30S. IF YOU’RE GOING TO THE O’S GAME ON WEDNESDAY, WEATHER SHOULD BE FINE. THERE COULD BE A FEW SHOWERS AROUND ON THURSDAY, BUT IT’S GOING TO GET WARMER. WE’RE GOING TO BOUNCE AROUND A LOT WITH THE TEMPERATURES 70 ON THURSDAY BACK INTO THE 50S ON SATURDAY, OFF AND ON, SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE EACH DAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, B
