Mostly Cloudy, Cooler Today

A cold front has passed through the state and is just off shore. The front has brought much cooler and drier air to the region, dropping dew points into the 50s and setting up afternoon highs in the upper 70s to near 80.

An area of low pressure moving along the front will keep clouds over the area and bring showers to the lower eastern shore today into tomorrow.

Clouds will decrease during the day tomorrow as the coastal low moves away from the area. Highs will push back into the mid 80s.

Another cold front will move towards the area on Saturday and southerly flow will develop ahead of it. This will bring a return to warmer and more humid conditions. Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be possible. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.

Partly Sunny Today

As a cold front slips through the state today, partly sunny skies will dominate the day with just a slight chance of an isolated afternoon thunderstorm. Highs will be in the mid 80s.

The cold front will usher in much drier air and set up a Thursday that will feature below normal temperatures. Highs will top out around 80 degrees with dew points in the 50s.

Clouds will still be prevalent on Friday, as an area of low pressure moves along the front, just off shore. The low should be far enough away to keep the area dry, despite the clouds. Highs will rebound a bit and push into the low to mid 80s.

Stationary Front Leads to Unsettled Week Ahead

The frontal boundary that brought showers, storms and relief from the heat has stalled out in our area.

There will also be scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. The storms will be capable of producing gusty winds, heavy rainfall and large hail.

A cold front will approach tomorrow, but will remain to our north resulting in another hot and humid day with afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Highs will be in the mid 90s. The storms could be strong to severe, with damaging winds, large hail and locally heavy rainfall.

Heat Peaks Today; Strong Thunderstorms Likely This Weekend

High pressure will move overhead today and bring the hottest conditions of the week. Highs will likely top out in the mid to upper 90s with higher humidity values making it feel over 105. A Heat Advisory is in effect central Maryland through this evening.

Afternoon thunderstorms will likely develop over the mountains and move eastward towards the Baltimore/Washington metro during the late afternoon hours. This activity is expected to be isolated but areas that do see storms could see brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds.

Tomorrow will be similar to today, possibly a few degrees cooler with a slight chance of afternoon storms. Highs will be in the mid 90s with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s and heat indices near 105.

Heat Wave Continues

With high pressure remaining to our west, hot and humid conditions will persist along the east coast today. Highs will be in the mid 90s with heat indices around 100. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible again, mainly in the mountains.

The high will move overhead tomorrow, as it begins to be dislodged by a cold front. Highs will be in the mid 90s with a slight chance of afternoon storms.

The high will move to our southeast on Friday, allowing southerly flow to develop which may in turn raise our temperatures to the upper 90s and cause dewpoints to rise into the low to mid 70s. The result will be heat indices that may top 105 degrees in some areas. There is a slightly better chance of thunderstorms Friday afternoon.

Another Hot and Humid Day

With high pressure still in control of the weather, expect another hot and humid day today. Highs will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday, pushing into the mid 90s with heat index values near 105 this afternoon.

Tomorrow will be a near carbon-copy of today. It will continue to be hot and humid with highs in the mid 90s.

A stray afternoon thunderstorm will be possible each day, mainly across the mountains.

The high pressure center will begin to weaken across the area Thursday and Friday, allowing a better chance of thunderstorms, but this activity will remain isolated at best. Highs both days will remain in the mid 90s.
