West ern Maryland Weather Review Holiday Week
Mostly fair and warm weather dominated last week as a Canadian air mass delivered clear skies and crisp nights. Daytime temperatures stayed in the 70s and 80s with nights in the 40s and 50s, while Tropical Storm Dennis threatened midweek before veering seaward. A Gulf of Mexico storm Friday sparked cloudiness but rain stayed south, leaving Sunday sunny with upper 70s to low 80s highs. Rainfall was scarce, with only isolated quarter to half inch totals in parts of Carroll Montgomery and Frederick. The week was the driest since May and the coolest since June, with several mornings very cool. A summary rainfall chart for Aug 15–21 follows.
