MickinMD ★ Posted August 27, 2020 Share #37 Posted August 27, 2020 We're supposed to get the remnants and 1-3" of rain Sat. afternoon in Central Maryland, but it may re-intensify to a Tropical Storm as passes east of Ocean City, MD and enters the Atlantic Ocean. There is some risk of wind damage and flooding. I hope it doesn't boomerang back to land after it hits the Atlantic. The warm Gulf Current starts to take over close to the Mid-Atlantic Coast, pushing the cold, Labrador Current, coming down from Canada, farther away from the shore it dominates until about now. The water at Ocean City gets much warmer in September than it is earlier in the summer, so hopefully the ocean won't be warm enough to cause a new, land-threatening problem.
