Overnight into Saturday we'll seen plenty of humidity, low clouds, and patchy fog. A few isolated showers & storms are possible, but we're not expecting a washout. Any storm could bring locally heavy downpours and an isolated severe t-storm cannot be ruled out. Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s.
STEAMY SATURDAY WITH A FEW STORMS: Saturday's definitely a sticky day with warmth and humidity. While we could receive a t-storm at anytime, the best chance could be late afternoon & early evening. Downpours & lightning biggest threat. Hit or miss, so not everyone gets wet. @WJZ pic.twitter.com/NWVZsGzS7B

Monday is another hot and humid day. A few isolated to scattered strong storms possible in the afternoon with highs in the low 90s.
July 4th continues to look good with an isolated daytime t-storm and spectacular weather for fireworks in the evening.
FIRST CALL FOR FIREWORKS: It's a warm & sultry, clear, and quiet evening. Warm temperatures, but nothing sweltering. Light winds. Nearly full moon as a backdrop with starlit sky for fireworks. Let's hope this forecast holds. Would be PERFECT viewing in Baltimore area! @WJZ pic.twitter.com/vFwcKxBQxu
