Clouds remain thick across Maryland into Wednesday
After a stretch of pleasant weather, changes are on the way for Maryland. Starting Wednesday night, low-level moisture will begin moving north into the state as winds shift off the water and high pressure begins to break down. For most of Maryland, any rain through Thursday is expected to be light and scattered—mainly confined to far southern parts of the state. Even there, mid-level dry air should keep rainfall spotty at best. The setup just isn't favorable for anything widespread, and the overall trend has been for drier conditions to hold on a bit longer than originally expected. As we head into Friday and Saturday, things stay pretty quiet. A broad area of high pressure sitting to our northeast will continue to influence the region, while a weak area of low pressure lingers off the Carolina coast. Forecast models show some potential for added moisture to sneak northward into Maryland this weekend, but as of now, it looks like most of the rain—if any—would stay in southern and western areas of the state. Temperatures will stay slightly below average through Saturday, keeping things comfortable for early August. By Sunday and Monday, we'll start to feel the difference. A change in the upper-level pattern will allow a ridge of high pressure to build along the East Coast, bringing warmer and more humid air back into Maryland. With that comes the chance for a few showers or storms, though how widespread they become will depend on how much coastal moisture manages to push inland. Either way, the cooler, drier stretch won't last much longer. Marylanders should be ready for a return to summer heat and stickiness by the end of the weekend.

National Hurricane Center Tracking Dexter, 2 Areas To Watch
The National Hurricane Center is busy tracking Tropical Storm Dexter and two areas to watch in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical Storm Dexter appears to be weakening and should dissipate over the Northern Atlantic by the end of the week. A tropical wave near Africa could develop into a tropical depression later this week. Closer to home, we are expecting an area of low pressure to form off the Southeast coast. There is a chance for development, and a tropical depression could form by the end of the week or into the weekend. Regardless, tropical downpours could lead to flooding with an increased chance of rip currents at the beaches this week.

Cloudy Skies Return with a Slight Increase in Humidity
Happy Tuesday everyone! Today won't be as bright of a day with more clouds expected overhead. Expect cloudy skies through the day with very few, if any, breaks. Due to cloud cover, you won't be able to see wildfire smoke but it remains overhead today. Air quality is expected to fall just one level to "moderate" but air quality monitors say they'll be watching through the day to see if it falls into the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" category. Temperatures will be similar to Monday with highs peaking in the low to mid 80s. It'll be a little warmer within and just around Baltimore City. Cooler air returns on Wednesday with temperatures warming to around 80° under more cloud cover. We do have a slight rain chance on Wednesday through the end of the work week but it's not very impressive. The next few days will be more dry than not. Humidity may be a bit more noticeable this week in comparison to days past. Some sunshine returns just in time for the Ravens' first preseason game on Thursday. We're looking at another seasonably cool day Thursday and Friday with highs in the low 80s.
