Spotty strong storms will impact Maryland through early evening

A first round of heavy rain and strong storms road the I-70 corridor into Baltimore and over onto the eastern shore early Saturday afternoon. A few wind gusts up to 60 MPH and some tree damage were reported. Sunshine returned following storms' exit, sending temperatures back into the 80s. It feels like it is closer to 100°, when the humidity is factored in. 

Isolated strong, to severe, storms will continue to pop-up and move eastward through sunset. Not everyone will see severe weather this evening, but a few neighborhoods could be impacted by brief heavy rain and wind gusts up to 60 MPH. Storms will also produce lots of lightning. "When thunder roars, move indoors."

The forecast trends drier on Sunday and Monday, before storm chances increase on Tuesday. 

Humidity stays high throughout the weekend as afternoon temperatures heat up. It'll feel like it's as hot as 105° in a few spots.

Humidity and heat relief by the end of next week

The early week toasty weather will give way to slightly cooler and drier feeling conditions heading into mid-week. Both mornings and afternoon will trend a bit cooler later in the workweek. Humidity will also drop.
