Breezy, cold for a mostly sunny Thursday

STILL NEEDED TO BE EXTINGUISHED. WELL, LUCKILY NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND THIS MORNING THERE WERE REPORTS OF SOME HAZY SKIES HERE IN MARYLAND. AT ONE POINT, THE AIR QUALITY WAS MODERATE, SO DALENCIA THE AIR QUALITY HAS IMPROVED, RIGHT? IT HAS IMPROVED. AND THAT’S ALL THANKS TO THE CHANGING WIND SPEEDS. SO WE’RE NOT OUR WIND DIRECTION. SO WE’RE NOT GETTING THAT WIND OUT OF THE WEST BRINGING THAT SMOKE INTO OUR AREA. IT’S NOW COMING FROM THE NORTHWEST, BRINGING SOME CLEAR AIR. NOW WE DID SEE SOME LOW HUMIDITY AND BRISK WINDS YESTERDAY, AND THAT’S WHAT CAUSED THAT RECIPE FOR WILDFIRES. SO ANY SPARK WAS ABLE TO SPREAD QUICKLY. SO NOW WE ARE SEEING A DECREASE IN THAT FIRE RISK. BUT YOU STILL WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS WITH ANY FLAMES. OUTDOOR OR MAKE SURE YOU ARE BEING CAREFUL. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE AIR QUALITY WE’RE STILL SEEING UNHEALTHY AIR QUALITY OUT TO THE SOUTH AND WEST, BUT HERE IN THE BALTIMORE METRO, WE ARE ALL IN THE GREEN. SO WE ARE IMPROVING AGAIN. THAT WIND DIRECTION IS COMING FROM THE NORTHWEST. AND SO THAT’S WHAT’S BRINGING FRESHER AIR INTO THE REGION. IT’S ALSO QUITE CHILLY AND BRISK. THE WIND SPEED RIGHT NOW IS AT 13MPH AT BWI MARSHALL. SO WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THAT BREEZE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AND OUR TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE ON THE COOLER SIDE. SO WE’RE LOOKING AT 42 RIGHT NOW AT BWI MARSHALL, 39 IN WOODSTOCK AND IN FREDERICK, 44 DOWNTOWN. AND THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE STICKING AROUND THE 40S. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE’LL HAVE SUNNY SKIES THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY AND CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT. BUT WITH THAT WIND GUST IN, WIND SPEED, IT’S GOING TO BE FEELING A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN OUR ACTUAL TEMPERATURES. SO JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A JACKET AS YOU’RE HEADING OUT. DOORS MOVING INTO TOMORROW AS WELL. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE BREEZE AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. THEY ARE GOING TO WARM UP A BIT INTO TOMORROW, SO WE’RE LOOKING AT 55 AS OUR HIGH IN BALTIMORE. THAT WIND GUSTS GOING TO BE CONTINUING LOOKING AT 24 AROUND 25 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS BY THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. AND THEN MOVING INTO SATURDAY IS REALLY GOING TO RAMP UP WHERE WE CAN SEE WINDY CONDITIONS AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 35MPH BY THE AFTERNOON. AND EVENING. NOW, SATURDAY IS ALSO WHEN WE’RE GOING TO BRING IN OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN. SO HERE YOU SEE BUILDING IT IN JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES LEFT IN FRIDAY. THERE AND THEN MOVING INTO SATURDAY. THAT’S WHEN THE BULK OF THE RAIN WILL BE MOVING THROUGH. WE’RE LOOKING AT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL, ESPECIALLY AROUND LUNCHTIME ON SATURDAY. THAT IS GOING TO TAPER OFF BY DINNERTIME. CLOUDS WILL STICK AROUND AND GRADUALLY CLEARING AS WE MOVE INTO SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE STICKING AROUND THE 50S AND THEN MOVING INTO MONDAY. THAT’S WHEN WE CAN DIP BACK INTO THE 60S, BUT UNTIL THEN, WE’LL BE STICKING AROUND WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. AS WE MOVE INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MAY DIP A FEW DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE, BUT
