Storms are expected to end July in Maryland
Storms are expected to end July in Maryland
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible across parts of Maryland this evening, primarily west of the I-95 corridor. While not everyone will see storms, those that do develop may produce damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours.
Temperatures, after climbing to around 90 degrees this afternoon, will gradually fall into the 70s overnight. Any lingering storm activity is expected to diminish after sunset.
Tuesday Alert Day for Severe Weather
A more widespread and potentially more impactful round of severe weather is expected Tuesday. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has issued an Alert Day due to the increased threat for damaging winds and localized flooding.
Storms are forecast to develop by mid-afternoon and will progress eastward through the evening hours, affecting the Baltimore metro area during the evening commute and reaching the Eastern Shore before tapering off after sunset.
High temperatures Tuesday will once again reach near 90 degrees, with heat index values approaching 100 prior to the arrival of storms. In addition to damaging winds, "training" thunderstorms — storms repeatedly moving over the same areas — could result in isolated flooding.
Improving Conditions for July 4th Week
The unsettled pattern will begin to ease Wednesday, though a lingering chance for showers or a thunderstorm remains across southern Maryland and the lower Eastern Shore. Elsewhere, dry conditions are expected with highs in the upper 80s and slightly reduced humidity.
The forecast improves further for Thursday and Independence Day. Nights will feel more comfortable, with lows dipping into the upper 60s, while afternoon highs stay in the upper 80s under mostly sunny skies.
Looking Ahead: Warm, Mostly Dry Weekend
Dry and sunny conditions will continue into the weekend, with highs near 90. Humidity will gradually build back in, and nighttime temperatures will trend milder — generally in the low to mid 70s.
The next chance for storms returns early next week as the pattern turns more unsettled again.

It's recommended that anyone working or exercising in the elements drink at least one cup of water for every 20 minutes. Older adults, young kids and anyone with underlying conditions are at greater risk from extreme heat. In Minnesota, the number of heat-related hospitalizations spikes at a feels-like temperature of only 86 degrees.

San Francisco sets record for rainiest July week since 1850, adding to its unusual summer
San Francisco has officially tied its record for the number of days with rain in July, and it did so in a record-breaking way. July is typically the driest month of the year. And while it is normally foggy in downtown, it doesn't average more than .01 inches of rainfall for the entire month. This year, however, there have been five days where measurable rain fell in downtown San Francisco, tying the old record of rainy days from 2022. But what makes 2025 stand out is that all the rain fell in the past week: July 21, 22, 25, 26 and 27. That makes the past week the rainiest July week ever recorded in San Francisco, and the records go back to 1850. So far, .08 inches of total rain has fallen this month, tying for the 11th wettest on record. It isn't a lot, but San Francisco usually averages .01 inches for the entire month. With what has been an unusually cold summer, San Francisco could yet break the record for the most rainy days in July.
