Fall in Minnesota could be warmer, see less rain than average, according to NOAA outlook
Minnesota could see above-average temperatures and below-average rainfall for the autumn months, according to an outlook released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center. The three-month outlook for meteorological fall — the months of September, October and November — indicates that there's up to a 40% chance that temperatures in Minnesota will be above average. There's a slightly greater chance that temps will be above average for a sliver of southern Minnesota near Interstate 90. In the Twin Cities, the average monthly high temperature for September is 71.6 degrees, but it dips to 58.6 degrees in October and 40.6 degrees in November, according to data from the state's Department of Natural Resources. The outlook also predicts the precipitation outlook for the fall months, which in Minnesota is leaning below average. According to the DNR, the metro area sees an average of 2.9 inches of precipitation in September, 2.1 inches in October and 1.4 inches in November. September sees roughly nine days of measurable precipitation, while October and November see roughly eight days, the DNR says. A drought plagued the early summer months in Minnesota, but it has largely been erased, according to the DNR's most recent drought monitor. Looking ahead even further into the winter months, NOAA says temperatures for December, January and February could hover around average. For the Twin Cities that means an average high temperature of 27.2 degrees for December, 21.9 degrees in January and 26.3 degrees in February.

Morning Clouds Give Way to Heat, Humidity Across Maryland
Sunny skies have return to the area after some morning clouds. Afternoon highs are forecast to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s, with heat index values climbing into the middle and upper 90s. Most of the state will stay dry, but scattered showers and a few thunderstorms could pop up in the mountains and parts of western Maryland along the Blue Ridge, with a slim chance of isolated activity near Chesapeake Bay and the metro. Any evening storms should fade after sunset, leaving overnight lows in the 70s for much of Maryland. Wednesday brings a different story. An approaching cold front is expected to spark more widespread showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, some lingering into the night as the boundary stalls near or just south of the state. Heavy rain and gusty downburst winds will be the main concerns, with flash flooding possible in spots where rainfall is heaviest. Thursday will keep the summertime pattern going — hot, humid, and stormy at times. The stalled front to the south will serve as a focus for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will stay near 90 degrees or in the upper 80s. By Friday, high pressure over the Southeast strengthens, gradually reducing storm chances into the weekend. Highs will run from the mid-80s to low 90s, while mountain areas stay in the 70s and low 80s. Warm, muggy nights will keep lows in the upper 60s to low 70s across much of the state. Another cold front could arrive early next week, bringing a renewed risk of storms as it approaches the area from the north. Erin will likely stay away from our area but rip currents will become a problem at area beaches by this weekend into next week.
