Severe weather threat has ended across the Baltimore metro

Thursday was a First Alert Weather Day, as heavy rain and severe storms impacted parts of Maryland. At least one tornado was confirmed by radar in Queen Anne's County earlier in the evening. 

The severe weather threat has ended across the Baltimore metro, the I-95 corridor and the upper Eastern Shore.

The forecast will continue to dry out during the overnight hours, as temperatures settle back into the upper 50s and 60s. Plan on a much drier Friday, with afternoon temperatures warming into the upper 70s to mid-80s. 

Briefly dry Friday before wetter weather this weekend

Expect a quiet day across the state on Friday. Humidity takes another slight dip during the daylight hours before climbing Friday evening into the beginning of the weekend.

Showers and storms may actually return Friday night and will continue off-and-on through the weekend. Of the two weekend days, Saturday will be the wettest. Sunday features a few leftover storms, as a cold front crosses the area. 

Temperatures will top out in the low to mid-80s with plenty of humidity both weekend afternoons.

Drier weather for the first day of school

Monday marks the first day of school for some students in the Baltimore area. Following a pleasant morning, afternoon temperatures will peak closer to 80 degrees, with a mix of sun, clouds and drier-feeling air. Humidity remains low for Tuesday, an almost carbon copy of Monday's forecast.

Unsettled weather returns to the forecast Wednesday, with a chance of showers and storms.
