Maryland sweating it out with heat, humidity, and a few storms
Muggy air returned in full force Monday across Maryland. We're waking-up up to tropical humidity and warm temperatures. Patchy morning low clouds and fog will burn off to partly sunny weather this afternoon. Highs will top out near 90°. Very high humidity levels will be the big story of this seven day forecast. In addition to heat and humidity, the WJZ First Alert Weather Team will closely be tracking the strength and projected path and intensity of Tropical Storm Erin. By the weekend, rip currents and rough surf will impact Atlantic Beaches, so please plan accordingly if you're Ocean bound. High humidity levels will be one constant in this forecast. The most unbearable humidity levels will be felt Wednesday and Thursday with dew points climbing into the middle to possibly upper 70s. The humidity may briefly back down a bit Friday before returning to tropical levels again over the weekend into the start of next week. Afternoon high temperatures over the next several days will generally be between 88° and 92°, which is seasonably hot for Maryland this time of year. When you factor in the high humidity levels, the feels like temperature most of this week will range from 94° to 100° during the midday and afternoon hours. Even though this heat wave will not of the severity of previous ones this summer, it's important to stay hydrated, take breaks from the heat, and check-in on pets and the elderly. A weak cold front will drape itself across our area over the next several days. This front will be to our north today, so any storms that from should be sparse in coverage and mainly north and west of Baltimore City. Another batch of isolated storms are possible along and near Chesapeake Bay along the Bay Breeze. Even though storms will be limited in coverage, any storm that does form will be capable of brief torrential downpours, gusty winds, and cloud to ground lightning. A greater chance of widely scattered showers and storms returns Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Despite being more widespread in coverage, not every neighborhood will receive these spotty, but drenching downpours. Unlike earlier this summer, most of the storms will not be severe, so we're not expected major impacts in terms of storm damage or power outages. Friday looks quiet with dry and hot weather continuing. Isolated storms may form, mainly west of Baltimore Saturday afternoon and evening. Give high humidity levels, any of the few storms that do form could have lightning and heavy downpours. A stronger cold front will approach late Monday potentially bringing the area a more substantial batch of showers and thunderstorms late Monday into Monday night. Tropical Storm Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean Monday. As of Tuesday morning, the storm is rather weak, small, and disorganized. This storm is still thousands of miles away from the mainland coast of the United States, but it's a storm worth watching based on computer model trends. The storm should experience steady strengthening through Friday as it intensifies to category 2 status over the open Atlantic Ocean by Friday morning. By Sunday morning, "Erin" could be a potentially large and dangerous major hurricane north of Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and east of the southeastern coast of the United States. While it's too early to know the exact track of "Erin" and the full scope of possible direct and indirect impacts on the United States, it's safe to say the storm will have the Atlantic Ocean churned up late week into the weekend. So despite a beautiful weather weekend at the beaches, rough surf and dangerous rip currents will likely be an issue. Please only swim at beaches with lifeguards on duty and near the lifeguards. As additional new data arrives as the weekend approaches, our First Alert Weather Team will continue to update you on any changes to the storm path, intensity, and potential impacts.

First Alert Weather: Hot week ahead with Erin in the tropics
The First Alert Weather team is tracking hot weather accompanied by showers and storms this week, along with 'Erin' in the tropics. A few showers and storms will develop inland through Monday evening, then skies become mostly clear. A few afternoon showers and storms will form Tuesday and Wednesday with highs 90-95. Hot with only isolated storms Thursday & Friday into the upcoming week. Highs each day will be in the 90s. INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood Tropics Tropical Storm Erin formed this Monday morning. Erin should rather quickly become a hurricane while moving steadily west. Early indications are for a pretty sharp turn north once over the SW Atlantic. If accurate, Erin would then stay east of Florida next week. Things could change, though! A couple of disturbances over the North Atlantic have little chance to develop significantly. A weak area of low pressure over the Northern Gulf should soon move inland. Always more: 'Talking the Tropics With Mike'.

Beautiful weekend expected across Maryland
It's a fairly calm weather day across Maryland, with no big changes expected in the forecast. This afternoon, some clouds — and maybe a stray shower or two — could spin into southern Maryland as a low-pressure system develops far offshore. An easterly breeze off the water will keep temperatures a little cooler than average for early August. High pressure over the Northeast will keep things dry through tonight, but that same onshore flow may lead to some patchy fog or low clouds overnight. Lows will drop into the mid-50s in cooler spots and mid-60s elsewhere. The weekend looks pleasant and mostly rain-free, thanks to a strong ridge of high pressure overhead. Saturday will start off with that same slightly below-normal feel, but a gradual warming trend will begin on Sunday as the high shifts offshore. Skies should stay mostly sunny, though some fog or low clouds could sneak in late at night or early in the morning. By Monday, a more typical August pattern takes over — warmer, more humid air will surge back into the state. Highs will reach the mid-to-upper 80s to start the workweek, climbing well into the 90s by midweek. The added humidity could push heat index values into the triple digits by Wednesday. Storm chances will remain low at first, limited mainly to isolated pop-ups in the mountains on Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday, as the heat and humidity peak and the ridge begins to weaken, scattered thunderstorms may develop, with a small chance that one or two could be strong. Overall, the next week looks dry for most of Maryland, with no signs of a soaking rainmaker anytime soon — so enjoy the calm while it lasts, and get ready for the heat to make a comeback.
