Muggier, stormier weather returns to Maryland this-coming week

The forecast gradually trends more humid, with a greater chance of scattered showers and storms starting on Sunday. The stormiest weather is expected on Tuesday - a possible First Alert Weather Day due to the risk of severe storms and heavy rainfall.  

After peaking in the upper 70s and lower 80s in many areas earlier today, temperatures are sitting in the 70s this evening under a mostly clear sky. More clouds will develop tonight as temperatures settle back into the 60s. The forecast remains dry through the evening. 

Few showers, storms in Maryland on Sunday

Sunday begins with a few more clouds and a chance of spotty morning rain showers. Rain will be very hit-or-miss and shouldn't impact many plans through the first-half of the day.

Temperatures will be sitting in the low to mid-60s around sunrise, before approaching 80° at noon. Temperatures peak in the low to mid-80s by late Sunday afternoon. It will feel a bit more humid on Sunday. 

Isolated showers and storms will develop and drift south and eastward through the afternoon. 

Greater workweek chances of storms in Baltimore

The temperature, humidity and risk of storms will be increasing as the workweek begins.

Mornings will be muggier, with sunrise temperatures in the mid to upper 60s across our area. Afternoon temperatures will surge back up in the upper 80s and lower 90s starting on Monday.

There will also be more showers and storms around on Monday. There could be a few showers dotting our area in the morning. But, the greater chance of rain and thunder arrives during the afternoon and persists into Monday evening. 

The risk of severe storms increases on Tuesday. While there is still some uncertainty, storms are a good-bet and a few severe storms with gusty winds and hail are possible. Storms will also produce a lot of lightning and at least brief heavy rain. Tuesday plans may be impacted by the weather. 

Drying out but heating up for week's end

Following Tuesday storms and a few lingering showers on Wednesday, the forecast will gradually dry out heading into late-week.

Humidity drops a bit as afternoons remain seasonably hot. For the time being, the chance of rain remains quite low on Thursday and Friday. However, there is some uncertainty with just how much we dry out. The First Alert Weather Team will keep you updated.
