BALTIMORE — The wildfire smoke from Canada is back Friday creating smoky-looking skies and high temperatures will range in the upper-80s. A code orange is expected, meaning the air will be unhealthy for sensitive groups. The bulk of Friday will be dry, however, showers and storms could develop later in the evening with temperatures flirting with 90°. Kicking off the first day of July with a round of scattered showers and possible storms as a warm front lifts through the region. Depending on the timing of the storm system, we could be placed in the warm sector-allowing storm chances to linger into Sunday. Humidity will increase and high temperatures this weekend will range in the upper-80s. Temperatures will rise into the upper 80s and low 90s next week. The associated cold front will swing through-sparking another round of widely scattered showers and storms. Good news for firework celebrations...guidance is trending drier for the 4th of July! Hopefully this remains the case. Fingers crossed!
