Summer heat builds across Maryland, few storms this weekend

The First Alert Forecast is heating up across Maryland over the next few days. This stretch of hot weather will ease heading into next week, behind our next chance of showers and storms this weekend.

Summer heat expands across Maryland

It's going to get even hotter on Friday. With plenty of sunshine in the forecast, we'll soar into the the low and mid-90s away from the bay by late afternoon. Humidity will remain low for another day.

You'll notice a muggier feel to the air heading into the weekend. Plan on a hot and somewhat humid Saturday. The forecast remains dry through most of Saturday - the pick day of the weekend. Scattered showers and storms will arrive Saturday evening, into Saturday night. This is just a bit earlier than what earlier weather data suggested. 

Lingering spotty storms possible Sunday, heat continues 

With the faster arrival of showers and storms Saturday night, Sunday's forecast has trended a bit drier. A leftover shower or thunderstorm is possible, especially early. Only a few areas will see rain during the daylight hours on Sunday. We'll continue to monitor the timeline of the weekend chance of rain.

Beyond the chance of wetter weather, Monday and Tuesday are looking outstanding with comfortably warm afternoon and plenty of sunshine.
