First Alert Weather Day canceled for Friday as Tri-State Area begins drying out
To say the least, it was an exceptionally busy day for weather across the Tri-State Area on Thursday. Not only were there numerous instances of flash flooding, some locations experienced damage from strong winds. There even was a tornado warning at one point during the afternoon, though a tornado touchdown has not been confirmed as of yet.
The drenching downpours resulted in rainfall totals ranging from 3-5 inches in certain portions of the area. Thankfully, the worst is behind us, and just a few showers will continue through the night.
There may be a few leftover showers early in the day on Friday, but overall, conditions look to be mostly dry, especially by the afternoon hours when the sun makes a comeback.
It will also be noticeably cooler, with highs not getting out of the 70s. A persistent breeze, gusting between 20-30 mph, might even feel chilly to some people.
As for the weekend, it is shaping up to be spectacular, featuring lots of sunshine, low humidity and highs in the low 80s. It could turn out to be the best weekend of the summer so far.

Comfortable, fall-like weekend expected across Maryland
Happy Saturday, Maryland! After a dreary and cooler (but MUCH more comfortable) Friday, more sunshine is expected this weekend. Saturday and Sunday both bring highs in the 70s and 80s after a cool start in the 50s and 60s this morning. The air feels crisp this weekend with lower humidity levels. There will be some moisture in the air but it won't feel tropical - "refreshing" and "delightful" are better words to describe the weekend feel. Sunshine and clouds mix this weekend but we are not expecting rainfall. Tee times and brunches will have near weather perfection. Temperatures will try to creep back up early in the week but will still fall short - cooler than normal temperatures continue Monday and for most of the week ahead. Showers may return to the forecast midweek. The rain chance, however, is low. We're not looking at a repeat of the late week storms we just saw. We are into a much quieter weather pattern in the days ahead - enjoy!

No Pets Left Behind: How a Dog's Hurricane Rescue Changed Florida Law
Hurricane Milton was barreling toward Florida last October when the emergency call came in about a dog that was stuck in rising waters. Florida Highway Patrol troopers like Orlando Morales were looking out for crashes as residents scrambled to evacuate from the hurricane, a rapidly intensifying Category 5 storm. When Trooper Morales responded, he was skeptical that it could be true. But then, in the distance off Interstate 75 near Tampa, he spotted the dog's head sticking out from the flooding terrain. Along a grassy field, he pulled his cruiser over and approached the trembling bull terrier as rain poured down. 'It's OK buddy, it's OK,' Trooper Morales said in a gentle tone to the growling dog, according to police video. 'I don't blame you. It's OK,' he continued, before he brought the dog to the safety of his cruiser. Nearly a year later, the dog, a bull terrier who was named Trooper after his savior, has been thriving in his new home in suburban Parkland, Fla., with Frank and Carla Spina and his adoptive sister, Dallas, who is of the same breed. On weekends, Trooper and Dallas enjoy chowing down on scrambled eggs. Trooper's story has inspired a new Florida law that makes restraining and abandoning pets during a natural disaster a felony.
