Heat and Humidity Return This Week as Thursday Storm Risk Rises

An approaching front will push temperatures into the 90s and raise the chance of scattered strong to possibly severe thunderstorms on Thursday.

Overview

  • The Baltimore region is enjoying a cool, dry break with morning lows in the 50s and daytime highs near 80, offering comfortable conditions for the next day or two.
  • A few widely scattered showers are possible on Wednesday as humidity begins to creep back into the area.
  • Forecasts predict highs in the 90s on Thursday, which will increase energy for a line of scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms that could produce damaging wind, large hail, heavy rain, or an isolated tornado.
  • Local reports note heavy storms, possible tornadoes and wind damage from the previous night plus a morning earthquake, though those impacts have limited independent verification in the coverage.
  • Humidity and storm chances are expected to fall by Friday, with a mostly dry and more comfortable Father’s Day weekend forecast across the region.
