Maryland braces for storms as heat wave continues

In Maryland, a hot and dry end to the weekend is expected, with afternoon temperatures reaching the low to mid 90s. The heat will be accompanied by high humidity, leading to feels-like temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. As the state transitions into Monday, the weather will remain hot and humid, with the potential for stronger storms developing in the late afternoon and early evening. These storms are forecasted to stretch from Baltimore down to the district, with high temperatures possibly reaching the mid 90s depending on the timing of the storms. The heat indices will peak in the lower 100s by late afternoon, indicating a significant discomfort for residents. Following Monday, more storms are anticipated on Tuesday and Wednesday, contributing to a continued pattern of humid and stormy weather. However, by the end of the week, a cold front is expected to push through, bringing cooler temperatures to the region. By next weekend, afternoon temperatures are projected to drop to the low to mid 80s, marking a shift towards more Fall-like weather. This change will provide relief from the oppressive heat and humidity that has characterized the preceding days.
