BALTIMORE --- We have a refreshing start for our Wednesday, but heat is on the horizon! 

We ditched the humidity overnight thanks to a cold front. Unfortunately, a warm front is on the way, so our break from the sticky weather will be short-lived.

Wednesday will be sunny with a high near 93 this afternoon and a low of 75 tonight. 

A Code Orange Air Quality Alert is in effect for the Baltimore and Annapolis areas. 

That means pollution levels may be unhealthy for sensitive groups like the elderly, children and those with asthma or heart disease.

Intense heat and humidity is expected Thursday, with a high of 97 but feeling well into the triple digits. We could get a couple of spotty storms that evening.   

On Friday, a cold front will bring widespread storms, and more chances for storms this weekend.
