Heating up, with a chance of Thursday storms in Maryland

Coming out of a holiday weekend with wonderful weather, a warming trend is underway. It's going to get hotter, ahead of our next chance of storms and cool-down later this week. 

Feeling like August in Maryland by mid-week

Hotter weather builds into our area on Wednesday. As high pressure shifts to the east, our winds begin coming from the south. Southerly winds will bring in warmer, more humid air for the next couple of days. 

Temperatures warm back into the mid and upper 80s on Wednesday afternoon. A few spots will top 90°. Plan on temperatures peaking in the upper 80s and lower 90s on Thursday afternoon. It may feel a few degrees hotter, thanks to all the humidity.

Hot weather will be short-lived this go-around. 

Showers and storms return to Baltimore on Thursday

There's a very low chance for a few spotty showers Wednesday in Maryland, however, most stay dry during the day.

The chance of scattered rain and storm truly returns on Thursday as a "cold" front moves through. 

Exact timing of storms may still be adjusted a bit before Thursday. While there will be scattered showers around in the morning, it looks like the wettest weather could happen during the second-half of the day. Brief heavy rain and a couple strong storms with gusty winds cannot be ruled out. Widespread severe weather is not expected. 

Near normal temperatures will return to Maryland heading into the upcoming weekend. A few showers and storms are possible Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Though, the weekend won't be a washout. There will be dry time, too.

A stronger front could bring much more fall-like weather heading into the middle of the following week. Stay tuned.
