Nice finish to July for Maryland, sticky and stormy start to August

Maryland is in the middle of a winning stretch of outdoor weather. This nice weather will continue through Saturday with temperatures climbing toward 90, but humidity levels staying bearable. 

Warming trend, but still quiet summer weather across Maryland  

Thursday was a beauty for the Baltimore metro. Sunshine early in the day gave way to more clouds by the afternoon and evening. Outside of a couple of isolated showers, the state was dry.

Clouds mix with clear skies overnight but, similar to the daytime hours, dry conditions are expected. 

Humidity levels will stay in the moderate range heading into Friday, which means we'll stay in our comfort zone right through Saturday. 

Summerlike warmth returns for Friday and Saturday. However, the hotter afternoon temperatures will be accompanied by manageable levels of humidity. Highs both days will get close to 90°. The weather looks dry through Saturday evening, so go ahead and make your outdoor plans. Friday features more sunshine than Saturday, but both days should remain rain-free. 

Scattered storms may impact this Baltimore metro this weekend

The summer warmth continues Sunday, but there will be a noticeable increase in humidity. The higher humidity combined with a few weak weather disturbances crossing through the area will lead to scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms. With the tropical humidity in place, any storm could produce brief but torrential downpours. Widespread severe weather is not likely. 

More scattered showers and heavy, gusty thunderstorms are possible Monday through Wednesday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. The days with the best chance to get wet are Monday and Wednesday. 

Late next week the weather looks to slowly dry out, but temperatures and humidity will be on the rise as another round of summer heat and steam could be on the way.
