Pretty start to the workweek in Maryland, ahead of more storms

The second-half of the weekend has trended much nicer, weather-wise, despite some lingering haze. Pleasant weather continues for a little more than a day ahead of our next chance of heavy rain and severe storms. The risk of rough weather has prompted a Tuesday First Alert Weather Day.

Warm and dry Sunday evening in Baltimore

Under a partly cloudy sky, temperatures will cool back into the 70s during the evening hours. It's a great evening for outdoor plans! Some lingering haze and less-than-perfect air quality are still present. However, it won't have much of a noticeable impact on you. No air quality alerts are in effect for the Baltimore metro. 

Temperatures drop back in the mid and upper 60s across most of the metro by sunrise on Monday; cooler than this morning. A few rural spots may briefly dip into the upper 50s outside of the Beltway.

Sunshine sends temperatures back into the 80s on Monday afternoon, with sunshine and relatively low humidity. 

Strong storms possible Tuesday across Maryland 

The next cold front will bring a chance of severe storms on Tuesday afternoon and evening across the state.

In addition to the risk of hail and damaging winds, heavy rainfall could cause street flooding. Tuesday is a First Alert Weather Day due to these impacts. The evening commute could be impacts by severe weather. Another round of storms is possible late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Behind storms, smoke and haze may blow back into Maryland mid-week as Canadian wildfires continue to rage.  The First Alert Weather Team will pass along updates throughout the week.
