Weather Blog: Record-Breaking Heat Monday; Cooler Air Comes Later This Week

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- We reached a record high of 99 at BWI Monday, and with high humidity it felt like a sizzling 105 for a short time during the afternoon.

A few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms did pop up, but they were few and far between. Tuesday will not be nearly as hot with a high of 92, but more chances of storms will be around tomorrow.

Our normal high is now 85 degrees, and it finally appears we will actually see a nice cool down by the end of the week, with very pleasant drier and cooler air coming our way!

Hold out for a few more hot and humid days and you will be rewarded!
