Dry Start to June, Temperatures May Reach 90s This Week
Welcome to June, Maryland!
It was a cool start to the month with morning temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
Sunshine helps warm temperatures into the 70s for Sunday afternoon. The day will be on the breezy side, with wind gusts possibly reaching 30 mph.
If you notice a different look to the sky today, that might be due to wildfire smoke coming out of Canada. It looks like the smoke stays high in the sky for today and into Monday, not impacting our air quality. The First Alert Weather team will keep an eye on the smoke forecast as the wildfires continue to burn for our neighbors to the north.
We have a *chance* to maybe see the Northern Lights late Sunday and early Monday. A Severe geomagnetic storm alert has been issued by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Early on Sunday morning, SWPC confirmed that a severe geomagnetic storm had been observed. When that level is reached, there is a higher chance that the aurora could be seen farther south and possibly into Maryland.
Warmer air continues to filter in toward the middle of the week. We'll eventually return to the 80s and even reach the 90s before week's end.
What about rain?
After ending May with above-normal precipitation, we're starting June in a dry stretch. The next chance of rain holds off until later this week into the weekend.
Don't forget the SPF and have a great day!

Warmest Temperatures of the Year Expected Across Maryland This Week
Marylanders can expect a taste of summer this week as the region warms up to the highest temperatures of the year so far, with hazy skies and the return of 90-degree heat on the horizon. After a string of cooler nights, conditions will turn noticeably milder Monday night. Skies will remain clear and temperatures are expected to settle in the lower to middle 50s across most of the state. On Tuesday, skies will take on a hazy appearance, not from clouds, but due to a plume of Canadian wildfire smoke drifting into the region. While the smoke will remain elevated, it will reduce air quality slightly. The Maryland Department of the Environment has placed the region in the "moderate" category for air quality, meaning those with respiratory issues should take precautions. Afternoon highs will climb into the low to mid 80s under filtered sunshine. The real heat arrives midweek. Wednesday through Friday could bring the first 90-degree readings of the year to many areas, with highs each afternoon reaching the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. Overnight lows will offer some relief, holding in the upper 50s to 60s. A cold front will approach from the west by late Friday, bringing with it a slight chance for thunderstorms across western Maryland. However, much of central Maryland, including the Baltimore metro area, is expected to remain dry through Friday night. Storm chances increase by Saturday as the front pushes farther east. Scattered thunderstorms—some of which could be strong—may develop during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs will still reach the mid 80s before the cooler air behind the front settles in. Temperatures will dip slightly to start next week, but the cooldown will be brief. Forecasts suggest a return to the 80s for highs by the middle of next week, continuing a warm and unsettled early June pattern. Residents should monitor daily forecasts, especially those with outdoor plans later in the week, as storm chances evolve heading into the weekend.

Oilers Predicted to Finally Break Long Canada Stanley Cup Curse
Oilers Predicted to Finally Break Long Canada Stanley Cup Curse originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers got so close last season to breaking the long curse that has plagued Canada-based NHL teams. Edmonton fell to the Florida Panthers in seven games in the Stanley Cup Final, adding another year to the long title drought. Advertisement There hasn't been a Canada-based team to win the Stanley Cup since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens took down the Los Angeles Kings. Since then, five Canadian-based teams have reached the Stanley Cup Final, but all have fallen short. The Vancouver Canucks reached the final in both 1994 and 2011, the Calgary Flames in 2004, the Oilers themselves in 2006, the Ottawa Senators in 2007, the Canadiens in 2021, and then the Oilers last year. But this time around, things could be different, and the Oilers are being predicted to finally snap the curse. Adam Proteau of The Hockey News is predicting Edmonton to win the championship this year in six games. "We've got to own it – we haven't been high on the Oilers for the bulk of the playoffs, but we've seen enough now, and Edmonton deserves its feels like Edmonton is a team of destiny, and like most all-time greats, McDavid and Draisaitl have learned from past defeats and appear fully ready, willing and able to win the first championship of what could be many. The Panthers are going to be a worthy opponent for them, but the Oilers have the juice and jam to carve out their names on sport's toughest trophy to win." Edmonton Oilers left wing Evander Kane (91) reacts with defenseman Brett Kulak (27) after defeating the Dallas Stars in game five of the Western Conference Final of the 2025 Stanley Cup Miron-Imagn Images After falling short last year, the Oilers have looked like a team on a mission. Edmonton has home-ice advantage this time around as well, and it could help propel them toward finally winning the title.
