Cooler and less humid across Maryland for Friday & the weekend

After days of steamy heat and storms, a refreshing change has arrived across the region. The First Alert Weather Team is tracking a much more comfortable air mass settling in for the start of August. The storm threat has ended, and while a few light showers may linger overnight, the bigger story is the dramatic drop in temperatures and humidity. Lows tonight will fall into the 60s across central Maryland, with a noticeably crisper feel in the air. On Friday, northerly winds will keep skies mostly cloudy through much of the day. Highs will only climb into the mid-70s—remarkably cool for early August. "You heard that right," we said on-air: 70s for highs on the first day of August! Clouds will gradually break Friday night, setting the stage for an exceptionally pleasant weekend. Temperatures will dip into the upper 50s and lower 60s areawide Friday night, and humidity will reach very comfortable levels—some of the lowest we've seen in weeks. Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be picture-perfect, with abundant sunshine and highs near 80 both days. Overnight lows will fall back into the 50s and 60s, making for great sleeping weather and a welcome break from the recent muggy nights. The stretch of nice weather continues into early next week. Monday will be sunny with highs in the low 80s. A few more clouds return Tuesday, but it will still be dry and comfortable. By Wednesday and Thursday, moisture begins to creep back into the region. A chance for showers returns midweek, but temperatures are expected to remain below average, with highs in the upper 70s to around 80. This stretch will be a breath of fresh air for Marylanders, and one of the nicest weather patterns we've had all summer. Stay with the First Alert Weather Team for the latest updates as we track the next chance of rain later next week.

A shocking record: Lightning bolt stretched 515 miles, crossed three states

An enormous, 515-mile-long flash of lightning that crossed at least three states has been named the longest in recorded history in the world. The 2017 'megaflash' stretched from eastern Texas to near Kansas City — a distance that would take at least eight hours by car or 90 minutes by commercial plane, according to the World Meteorological Organization. In comparison, the average bolt of lightning usually measures less than 10 miles, according to the National Weather Service. The WMO, an agency within the United Nations, announced Thursday that it certified the megaflash as the longest lightning flash on record. It struck Oct. 22, 2017, during a severe storm that hit much of the Great Plains. A megaflash is a giant bolt of lightning that travels huge distances from its origin point, said Randall Cerveny, a professor of geographical sciences at Arizona State University and a member of the WMO committee that confirmed the new record. 'It's an incredibly strange phenomenon,' he said. 'We only discovered them 10 years ago, when we could use a particular set of technologies to detect the start and end locations of the of lightning events.' Megaflashes are not altogether uncommon, but they typically only occur in parts of the world where specific geographical and atmospheric conditions can produce the most severe thunderstorms, Cerveny said. In the Great Plains and across the Midwest, for instance, warm and humid air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with drier, colder air from the north, creating strong atmospheric instability. When these conditions mix and produce severe storms, megaflashes of lightning can occur. These extra-long bolts of lightning have been observed before in the United States, Argentina and southern France, and scientists think they can also occur in parts of China and Australia, according to Cerveny. The 2017 megaflash was produced by an immense storm that blanketed a huge swath of the U.S., from Texas up into Iowa and Missouri. Though megaflashes can extend across multiple states, they form high up in the atmosphere and so rarely cause damage on the ground, Cerveny said. 'They are upwards of 10,000 to 18,000 feet high, in the upper to middle layers of a thunderstorm,' he said. The 515-mile-long lightning bolt was described in a study published Thursday in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. 'These new findings highlight important public safety concerns about electrified clouds which can produce flashes which travel extremely large distances and have a major impact on the aviation sector and can spark wildfires,' WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo said in an accompanying statement. The extreme conditions that spawn them are a reminder of how powerful and dangerous lightning storms can be. In the U.S., lightning kills roughly 20 people each year and injures hundreds more, according to the weather service. With the classification Thursday, the 2017 lightning flash now surpasses the previous world record set five years ago by about 38 miles, according to the WMO. That bolt of lightning was unleashed April 29, 2020, and spanned 477.2 miles across parts of the southern U.S. The 2017 megaflash was identified after scientists re-examined archival measurements taken when the storm occurred. 'When the original studies were done, we didn't have the technology that we have today,' Cerveny said. 'Now we have this instrument on a weather satellite that very accurately detects lightning and can precisely pinpoint where, how far and how long a lightning flash event takes place.' Experts said it's likely there will be even longer megaflashes found in the coming years, particularly as satellite technologies improve the ability to detect them. 'Over time, as the data record continues to expand, we will be able to observe even the rarest types of extreme lightning on Earth and investigate the broad impacts of lightning on society,' study lead author Michael Peterson, an atmospheric scientist in the Severe Storms Research Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said in a statement. The WMO's Committee on Weather and Climate Extremes keeps official records of global, hemispheric and regional extremes, including for temperature, rainfall, wind, hail, lightning, tornadoes and tropical cyclones.

July 2025 sets record for fourth wettest July in Detroit history

This may not come as much of a surprise after the torrential rainfall this week, but July 2025 is ending in the top five wettest Julys in Detroit. Flash flooding on Wednesday, July 31, brought us over the line, but not before we experienced heavy rainfall on Monday, July 28. Detroit reached 7.38 inches of rainfall for the month. The month's average is 3.51 inches of rainfall. There is no doubt we've seen an abundance of water this month, but reaching the top tive for the fourth wettest ranking is a feat. Records for the Detroit area go back to November 1874.
