BALTIMORE — Temperatures are expected to surge into the triple digit range Wednesday. This push of late summer near record heat has the potential to fuel storms and showers on late afternoon into the evening as a cold front slides through. Some of the storms may be strong to severe. The Storm Prediction Center has most north of Annapolis under a Slight Risk (level 2/5) with damaging winds and hail as the main threats. Scattered storms and showers will stick around later this week, and temperatures will drop into the 80s. Scattered showers and storms develop on Saturday afternoon and evening before conditions dry out for the weekend's second half. Right now, Labor Day into the work week looks dry. Temps may take a plunge late week.
