A little more sunshine expected across Maryland Thursday
A thick blanket of clouds hung over Maryland as moisture streamed northward Wednesday afternoon. While most of the steady rain stayed in southern Maryland, a few stray showers did manage to pop up during the afternoon. Skies will manage to clear late tonight, some patchy fog could develop-especially in low-lying river valleys. Overnight lows will fall into the 60s for most, with some cooler spots in the upper 50s in western Maryland. Looking ahead to Thursday and Friday, high pressure nearby will keep our weather relatively quiet. Winds coming in off the water will help hold temperatures a bit below normal for early August. Expect highs in the upper 70s to low 80s both days, with overnight lows in the upper 50s and 60s. We'll see a mix of clouds and sun Thursday-though clouds may win out by the afternoon. Friday is looking brighter overall, with a little more sun breaking through as the system overhead moves out. Rain chances look very limited to end the week, though we can't completely rule out a quick popup shower Thursday afternoon. If you are headed to the Ravens Pre-Season Game at the Bank Thursday evening, expect temps in the 70s under partly cloudy skies. Ideal weather for some football. As we head into the weekend, dry conditions are expected to continue across much of Maryland, along with slightly cooler-than-normal temperatures. Expect highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s. It will be warmer than it was during the week Next week brings some changes. Warmer air will start to push in from the south, leading to a slow return of humidity-and eventually, better chances for showers and storms. Monday and Tuesday could bring a few spotty, heat-driven showers. But the best chance for more widespread rain looks to arrive around midweek. By then, expect the humidity to return in full force. Heat index values could approach 100 degrees by Wednesday or Thursday, marking a noticeable shift from this week's cooler, cloudier pattern. In the meantime, enjoy the fresh air and mild temperatures-it's a break from the usual August heat, and it won't last much longer.

Windy Gap Fire in Colorado forces closure of highways in central and northern Grand County
A new wildfire in Colorado's high country has led to closures of stretches of two different highways. It's located in central Grand County, and it's being called the Windy Gap Fire. The fire is burning west of Granby and so far there's no estimate on its size. On Wednesday it was growing in hot, dry and windy conditions. There were wind gusts of approximately 30 acres being recorded in the evening. A pre-evacuation order was put in in place for residences in rural areas west and northwest of Granby. Highway 40 between Granby and Hot Sulphur Springs is closed due to the firefight. A large stretch of Highway 125 --north of the Granby area and into Jackson County -- is also closed. Aerial support for firefighters battling the fire included a helicopter doing water drops. There have been no reports of injuries related to the Windy Gap Fire. A red flag warning is under effect for the area where the fire is burning through Friday.
