BALTIMORE — Good Thursday everyone! It has been a hot day in Maryland with temps approaching nearly 90 degrees in most spots. A mix of sun and clouds continues and we can't rule out an isolated shower, yet most of us stay dry. The hottest air mass of the year (before next week) arrives tomorrow, with highs in the mid-90s. We could challenge the old record high of 98° in 1994, depending on the arrival of our cold front. I think most will stay below the record. Rain and storm chances increase on Friday afternoon as a cold front slides through the region. The Storm Prediction Center has the area under a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) with an even greater Slight risk (2/5) for areas northwest of the bay. Damaging winds are the main threat, while heavy rain and frequent lightning are also possible. Drier conditions are expected for Father's Day weekend with less humidity and highs in the mid-80s. The first official heat wave of the season occurs next week as highs look to be in the mid-90s with sunny skies and morning temperatures in the 70s.
I hope you all stay cool and weather-aware tomorrow!
