Heat builds across Maryland this week
A few isolated storms could develop across western Maryland this evening, with a low chance that one or two could drift as far east as the I-95 corridor. Any storm that does form may be capable of producing damaging winds and small hail. Temperatures topped out in the upper 70s to low 80s Monday afternoon. Tonight, skies will gradually clear behind any passing storms, with overnight lows settling around 70 degrees. A cold front approaches the region Tuesday morning and will pass through during the late morning to early afternoon hours. While most of the area will remain dry, far southern Maryland could see a brief shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon. Tuesday's high temperatures will reach the low to mid 80s before cooler and slightly less humid air filters in Tuesday night. Overnight lows will dip into the mid 60s. By midweek, summerlike heat begins to build. Highs Wednesday will climb into the upper 80s. On Thursday, Baltimore could see its first 90-degree day of the year as temperatures peak near the 90-degree mark under mostly sunny skies. The heat continues into Friday, with highs again reaching the upper 80s to near 90. Humidity will also increase, and a few storms could pop up late in the day. A stronger cold front arrives this weekend, bringing more widespread storm chances. Saturday afternoon looks particularly unsettled, with a high likelihood of thunderstorms. Rain and storm chances linger into Father's Day on Sunday, with cooler highs in the 70s. The unsettled pattern is expected to continue into Monday and Tuesday next week, with isolated showers and storms and highs holding in the 70s.

Fans excited as U.S. Open practice rounds get underway at Oakmont Country Club
Practice rounds for the 2025 U.S. Open began Monday morning at Oakmont Country Club. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to watch the tournament this week. As the sun rose on this practice round opening day, spectators were certainly ready to catch a glimpse of some of golf's best players. "Wanted to get up early and be the first ones here," Lucas Beaver of Ross Township said. Beaver and Brenton Perkins are pumped for Monday's practice round. "I'm excited to watch great golf, to be around greatness in a sense," Perkins said. Judging by the cars and the clickers, they're not the only ones excited. KDKA-TV caught people from western Pennsylvania, Erie, and even Alberta, Canada. "Just wanted to see all the players, see the course," Lindsay Glisan of Franklin Park said. "Come out [and] hopefully enjoy a beautiful day." The weather held up on Monday morning, but the road to seeing the green didn't come without a little brown, with lots of mud from Sunday's downpours. "I'm annoyed with it; my shoes are already too dirty," one spectator told KDKA-TV. None of that is putting a damper on these people, though. "We've been waiting for this to come here for a couple of years," Glisan said. Now that it's here, people are excited to see their favorite players, from Scottie Scheffler to Colin Morikawa and Jason Day. For many, it's just special to see these guys in our backyard on a course with so much history. "So many greats have walked there. Ben Hogans, your Arnold Palmers, your Jack Nicklaus'," Perkins said. Now, they'll watch the current generation hit the links at Oakmont Country Club. "To be able to be that close to see what they're doing, and to experience that level of focus, it can be really inspiring," Perkins said. Monday through Wednesday are the practice rounds. Championship rounds are Thursday through Sunday.

Northern Lights Alert: 8 States May See Aurora Borealis Monday
Geomagnetic storm conditions are possible Monday after a recent coronal mass ejection, potentially bringing the northern lights to several states in the northern U.S., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some geomagnetic storm conditions are expected after a coronal mass ejection that left the sun last ... More week, forecasters said. NOAA forecast auroral activity with a Kp index of three on a scale of nine for Monday night, suggesting the aurora borealis may be visible farther from the poles and be 'quite pleasing to look at' for those in the right areas. NOAA noted the Kp index may be upgraded to just over four, signaling higher confidence of the northern lights being seen in parts of Maine and South Dakota, saying a 'minor' geomagnetic storm is possible Monday because of the lingering effects of a coronal mass ejection that left the sun on June 6. Similar auroral activity is expected Tuesday and Wednesday, with a maximum Kp index of three and four forecast for either day, respectively, according to NOAA's three-day projections. Parts of northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, northern Minnesota, Upper Michigan and northern Wisconsin have a low, but potential, chance of seeing the northern lights. Most of Canada and Alaska have a higher likelihood of viewing the phenomenon. (See map below.) Monday's view line. NOAA recommends traveling to an unobstructed, north-facing and high vantage point away from light pollution to see the northern lights, which the agency said are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. Photography experts told National Geographic it's best to use a tripod to stabilize the image, while also using a wide-angle lens, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the furthest possible setting. With a smartphone, NASA recommends enabling night mode, disabling flash and opting for a slower shutter speed, if possible. An increase in solar events like coronal mass ejections and solar flares will likely persist into early 2026, according to NASA's projections. This rise coincides with activity on the sun's surface achieving a 'solar maximum' in October 2024, which occurs over the sun's 11-year cycle that includes a 'solar minimum' and a decline in solar events. Geomagnetic storm events ramped up in intensity last year, after one of the strongest storms in 20 years disrupted Earth's magnetic field and led to the northern lights being spotted in all 50 states.
