The Maryland Department of the Environment has issued a CODE ORANGE AIR QUALITY ALERT for today.
With high pressure still to our south, hot and humid air remains in place. Highs today will be in the low to mid 90s with heat indices around 100.
The hot and humid air will support isolated thunderstorm development over the mountains this afternoon. These storms will then move eastward into the I-95 corridor this evening.
Tomorrow will be the warmest day of the year thus far. Highs will be in the mid 90s. Thunderstorms will be possible again tomorrow evening. Some of these storms may produce strong, gusty winds.
A cold front will move into the area on Thursday, providing another mechanism for thunderstorm development. It will continue to be hot, with highs in the low 90s.
The front will stall out over the area through the weekend. Expect highs in the low to mid 80s Friday through Sunday with scattered showers and thunderstorms each day.
Looking to next week, the weather looks to remain unsettled with showers and storms possible through mid-week.
