A few more storms possible across Maryland Thursday
Patchy fog will start to develop tonight as humidity stays high, and it's going to feel muggy with overnight lows only dropping into the upper 60s to low 70s. A few stray showers could linger, but most of the steady rain will wind down after sunset. Thursday stays warm and sticky, with highs pushing near 90 degrees. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will fire up again as a cold front moves through, and some of those storms could bring heavy downpours and gusty winds before things start to quiet down later in the evening. By Friday, you'll notice a big difference — drier air moves in from the north, knocking humidity down and bringing highs back into the 80s under brighter skies. It will feel much more comfortable heading into the weekend. Saturday looks pleasant, with comfortable humidity and highs in the 80s, but the break from the heat won't last long. By Sunday and Monday, the mugginess returns, along with highs in the low-to-mid 90s and heat index values near 100. Also worth watching — strengthening Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to make a close pass to the North Carolina coast early next week. While it's not expected to have a direct impact on Maryland's weather, it will increase the risk of dangerous rip currents at Maryland and Delaware beaches beginning this weekend and continuing into early next week. Another cold front early next week will bring another round of storms followed by a stretch of cooler, less humid weather by midweek. Even with that cooldown, any storms through early next week could still pack a punch with heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds.

Denver metro area firefighters warn of dangers after multiple vegetation fires break out
Firefighters say every season in Colorado is fire season, but right now, conditions are perfect for fires to spark. South Metro Fire Rescue has had to be vigilant about fighting this week's small vegetation fires to prevent a bigger disaster. "What we're finding is just real hot, dry weather conditions, and this vegetation is just so dry," said Brian Willie, Communications Specialist for South Metro Fire Rescue. "Yesterday we had a vegetation fire that was just under an acre. And then again, this morning, we had a very small vegetation fire that was about 25 by 25 square feet." Both were extinguished quickly thanks to the hard work of firefighters, but given the current conditions, they say fires could go from small to large very quickly "As hot as it's been and as dry as it's been, we just always want to take precaution, and we're asking the public to take precaution," said Willie. They want to make sure everyone is following local fire restrictions. In the south metro area, all three counties are in stage one restrictions. That means no open flame and making sure you extinguish fires properly. "And please, no more fireworks. Leave the fireworks," said Willie. Plus, they say if you have flammable materials like rags soaked in combustibles, make sure to store and dispose of them properly. Again, this week, South Metro Fire Rescue responded to a house fire where some rags caught fire. They say this could have very easily spread, given the conditions, because most of the south metro area is in the wildlife urban interface, where nature meets civilization. "That's where that vegetation has really grown and really dried out. And that vegetation is really high right now, but it's all just so dry. That's where the concern is, for any small spark could really cause a vegetation fire to grow," said Willie. But if a fire does break out in your neighborhood, don't worry, South Metro is ready to protect your home and life. "We're jumping on these as quick as possible," said Willie. Another thing to be mindful of when you mow your lawn is that it can cause a fire if your blade strikes a rock and causes a spark. Firefighters say just that much flame can lead to Colorado's next destructive wildfire.

Strange lights were spotted over the Twin Cities on Tuesday — here's what it may have been
A video shows a strange light in the sky Tuesday night over Woodbury, Minnesota, causing some to wonder what it may have been. Rusty Nereng, who took the video, tells WCCO he captured the unique sight around 9:30 p.m., moving from south to north with what looked like halos of light on each side. There have been other reports across the eastern part of the U.S. of the same strange light, leading to speculation of meteors, weather phenomena or, of course, the good old UFO sighting. It turns out that strange sight in the sky wasn't from the weather — but it could help us track the weather in the future. It's possible that it was actually the Ariane 6 rocket. The European Space Agency says it launched the rocket from South America on Tuesday night. It was carrying a weather and climate satellite that will orbit the Earth, sending back weather information that will aid in weather forecasting and climate monitoring, among other helpful weather services. So the strange sight in the night's sky that brought about a lot of questions is hoping to bring better weather answers for forecasters in the future.
