Strong storms expected across Maryland this evening
We are tracking the threat of strong to severe thunderstorms late Monday afternoon and evening. A WJZ First Alert Weather Day remains in effect through early tonight as scattered showers and storms develop ahead of an approaching cold front.
Storms are expected to begin developing between 3 and 4 p.m. in Western Maryland and will move toward the I-95 corridor before sunset.
Any storms that develop could produce damaging wind gusts over 50 mph and hail up to the size of pennies. Frequent lightning and heavy downpours are also possible with the stronger storms.
Storms may impact the latter part of the Orioles game at Camden Yards, especially for postgame activities and the commute home.
Storms will push toward the Eastern Shore after sunset, with the entire region likely clearing of thunderstorms between 9 and 10 p.m.
Overnight, skies will be partly to mostly cloudy with cooler temperatures. Lows will dip into the mid to upper 40s across the region.
Tuesday will bring breezy and cooler conditions with highs near 60 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
Skies will turn partly to mostly cloudy on Wednesday, with highs again near 60 degrees.
Warmer weather makes a brief return Thursday. Expect mostly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 70s and a chance for afternoon showers.
A stalled front will linger across the region from Friday into the weekend, oscillating north and south. Temperatures will vary depending on which side of the front you're on.
North of the front, highs will remain in the 50s and 60s. South of the front, temperatures may climb into the low 70s.
Upper-level disturbances riding along the front will lead to scattered showers and possibly a few thunderstorms at times from Friday into the weekend.
The best chance for storms arrives Sunday as the entire system pushes through the region, moving south by Monday morning.
Highs on Friday will be near 70 degrees, though areas north of the front will likely stay in the 50s and 60s. Saturday will be cooler with highs only in the low 60s.
Temperatures will rebound into the low 70s on Sunday ahead of the front's final push.
Cooler, drier air returns Monday into Tuesday. Expect breezy conditions Monday with highs in the upper 50s and an early chance of showers.
Tuesday will be windy and much cooler, with gusty northwest winds over 20 mph and highs in the low to mid-50s.

Afternoon Storms to Develop in Maryland Saturday
A few light showers started the day in western Maryland on Saturday. It's a quiet start to the day that doesn't look to end in the same way. Saturday is a possible WJZ Alert Day. The First Alert Weather team will be watching the risk for showers and storms to develop this afternoon, continuing into the evening. Similar to Friday, heavy rain is possible. Last night's storms produced multiple flash flood alerts in Maryland and with the ground still saturated, we could see more of the same on Saturday. Forecast models are calling for 1 inch to possibly 3 inches of rainfall here in Maryland (isolated areas could see up to 5 inches if heavy rain is slow to move out or tracks over a certain area multiple times). A few storms could be on the stronger side, producing gusty winds and possible small hail. Highs on Saturday will be cooler - around 80°. It'll be even cooler on Father's Day. Prepare for highs only in the upper 60s to low 70s Sunday afternoon. Sunday also brings its own rain chance. The upcoming work week doesn't look to completely dry out until maybe closer to AFRAM weekend.

Hazy Skies Continue as Heat and Humidity Build Across Maryland
Canadian wildfire smoke will keep skies hazy overnight across Maryland, with temperatures falling into the 50s and 60s. While the smoke will be visible, most of it will remain at high altitudes and have little impact on air quality at the surface. Wednesday will bring more sunshine and continued haze as the upper-level smoke persists. Temperatures will soar into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. Some locations may hit the 90-degree mark for the first time this year. The heat continues Thursday, but cloud cover will increase, and humidity will become more noticeable. Highs will again push into the upper 80s, with a muggy feel returning to the atmosphere. Friday will feature a mix of sun and clouds, with a few isolated storms possible across western Maryland late in the day. Baltimore and the I-95 corridor are expected to stay dry. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 80s. The best chance for widespread rain arrives Saturday as a cold front pushes into the region. Expect scattered showers and a few storms, with highs cooling slightly into the upper 70s to low 80s. The front will move out of the area by early Sunday, setting the stage for a beautiful end to the weekend. Sunshine returns Sunday afternoon with lower humidity and highs in the low 80s. Looking ahead, the weather turns unsettled again next week. Showers and thunderstorms are possible Monday and Tuesday, with highs near 80 degrees each day. Forecast confidence drops beyond Sunday, so stay tuned to WJZ for updates as we continue to refine the timing and coverage of next week's rain chances.
