1:10 PM (Wednesday) | *Big-league baseball gets underway on Thursday with sunny, cool conditions in New York City and Washington, D.C. for their home openers...a major-league warm-up this weekend*

The “boys of summer” are back in town...big-league baseball gets underway on Thursday with home openers in New York City (Yankees vs. Brewers) and Washington, D.C. (Nationals vs Phillies) where there should be loads of sunshine and dry, cool conditions. High pressure will be in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday resulting in the dry, cool conditions with highs likely in the lower 50’s across New York City and the upper 50’s in the D.C. metro. After a warm frontal passage on Friday night, a major-league warmup is coming on Saturday with 80 degrees on the table in at least parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.

*Artificial intelligence (AI) making strides in the world of weather forecasting…European Center for Forecasting makes its AI-model fully operational*

Paul Dorian

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a collection of technologies that allow computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, and it is increasingly impacting the world of weather forecasting. The European Center for Medium-Range Forecasting (ECMWF) has made strides with its Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) as it has recently become fully operational and is now run side-by-side with its traditional physics-based Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). According to the ECMWF, the AIFS has outperformed the physics-based model for many measures including, for example, tropical cyclone tracks. The increasingly important role of AI in weather forecasting will be to supplement and enhance traditional NWP models…and not to replace the. In addition to the ECMWF AIFS, there are at least four other known “A.I. trained” weather models including NOAA/Google GraphCast, Microsoft’s Aurora, NVIDIA’s FourCast, and Huawei’s Pangu-Weather.

7:00 AM | *A pleasant day today with plenty of sun and highs in the 70's*

Paul Dorian

Today will be a rather pleasant day across the region with plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures that should peak this afternoon in the lower-to-middle 70’s. It turns a bit cooler at mid-week with the passage of a cool front, but then high pressure should result in decent weather again for the latter part of the week. Unsettled weather heads this way for the upcoming weekend with southwesterly winds likely to pump in a moist air mass which when combined with a shortwave ejecting eastward from the Rockies can result in shower activity around here on both Saturday and Sunday.
