Summer heat and scattered storms are in Maryland's forecast

It's been another day of exceptional weather across Maryland... but, get ready, hotter weather is on the way as we close out the workweek. 

Temperatures are peaking in the lower 80s in many areas this afternoon, with tons of sunshine. It'll gradually cool back through the 70s and into the 60s through the course of the evening. The forecast remains dry and pleasant for plans Wednesday evening. Try to get outside and enjoy it. 

Summer weather coming to Maryland

Following such a nice start to the workweek, heat will become more noticeable on Thursday.  Temperatures will soar well into the 80s in most spots and will peak around 90° west and northwest of Baltimore City. Friday will be even hotter. With plenty of sunshine in the forecast, we'll warm into the lower 90s. Thankfully, humidity levels both days will stay on the lower end of the scale.

Though, it will start to feel a little muggier this weekend. Plan on a hot and somewhat humid first day of the weekend. The forecast remains dry through most of Saturday - the pick day of the weekend. Only spotty showers and storms are possible late in the day.

Scattered showers and storms over the weekend 

Following a mostly dry Saturday, bigger changes arrive during the second-half of the weekend. Scattered showers and storms will move in on Sunday; especially during the afternoon and evening. Brief heavy rain and lightning may send a few outdoor plans indoors. Temperatures will drop from the 90s into the 80s where rain pops-up.   

Scattered showers linger into Monday as cooler weather blows back into Maryland.
