Here is your TidalHealth 7-day for Friday, September 18, 2026. These are the changes we have made to it:

Today: We are going to keep the chance of a spotty shower during the day today. The story today will be the drying trend as the sun breaks out and the humidity drops once the front clears Delmarva this afternoon.

Sunday: Keeping the storm chances to Sunday evening with the arrival of the cold front.

Next Week: The front will stall out over the top of us and keep things unsettled on Monday with the chance of a few showers and storms. I have made the change to make the solid rain chance stick to Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week as an area of low pressure will develop on the front and stall out near our area for a few days. Along with the stalled out low will bring the wind in off the Atlantic for a few days. This will keep temperatures in the 60s for those days and also bring up the idea of possible coastal flooding and beach erosion with a constant wind off the Atlantic for a few high tide cycles.

President Trump is repealing an executive order from 2009 dedicated to protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay.

Today, he published his own executive order stating EO 13508 was a broad mandate that did not provide "clarity on how to implement that order's requirements."

His office calls the federal requirements "vague and confusing," and that these requirements have allowed state and local governments to enact stormwater management fees, or 'rain taxes,' that raise costs for American households.
