Hottest temps of the season expected Thursday across Maryland
A stretch of summer-like weather is on tap for the region, with the hottest temperatures of the year so far expected Thursday, followed by a shift to unsettled conditions heading into Father's Day weekend.
Skies will be partly cloudy tonight with seasonable overnight lows in the 60s and comfortable humidity. But Thursday brings a surge of heat and sunshine. High temperatures will soar into the low 90s for many locations, marking what will likely be the hottest day of the year so far.
Humidity will increase noticeably Thursday night, with overnight temperatures staying warm - lows are expected to hold near 70 degrees.
Friday remains hot and humid, with a mix of sun and clouds. Isolated to scattered storms are possible during the afternoon, but coverage should be limited. Highs will reach the upper 80s to near 90.
Changes arrive this weekend as storm chances ramp up. On Saturday, the combination of increasing clouds and an approaching disturbance will lead to a better chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly during the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be cooler due to the added cloud cover, with highs in the low 80s.
More widespread rain and storm chances are expected Sunday. Overcast skies and persistent moisture will keep conditions damp and cooler, with highs struggling to get out of the 70s.
The unsettled pattern lingers into early next week. Scattered showers and storms remain in the forecast Monday through at least Wednesday, with daily highs near 80 degrees and overnight lows in the 60s.
By late next week, another warm-up is likely. Highs are forecast to climb back toward 90 degrees by Friday as sunshine becomes more dominant once again.

Chilly weather springs back for Ontario's Father's Day weekend
After a brief taste of summer this week, the upcoming weekend will feature a return to spring-like weather, including a threat for rain. However, Father's Day weekend will also include some sunshine and opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities. For more details on what you can expect this weekend, please read on! DON'T MISS: As we kick off the weekend on Friday, cooler weather will continue to spread across southern Ontario with temperatures more typical of early to mid-May, especially around the west end of Lake Ontario due to the east wind off the lake. However, summer weather won't be far away as southwestern Ontario will see temperatures in the mid 20s for one more day. We will see a mix of sun and cloudy periods during Friday with a low risk for passing showers. However, during Friday afternoon and Friday night, there will be an increasing threat for showers across cottage country. The rain should end early on Saturday across cottage country, then clouds will mix with sunny breaks. MUST SEE: Saturday will bring a mixture of clouds and sunny breaks. However, we will have brisk east wind off Lake Ontario and that will keep temperatures well below seasonal. Sunday will be the best weather day of the weekend for outdoor activities. While we can't completely rule out a passing shower, most of southern Ontario will be dry with a mixture of sunshine and cloudy periods. SEE ALSO: Temperatures will be noticeably warmer on Sunday - not hot, but cottage country will be near seasonal for mid June. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler near the west end of Lake Ontario due to a light east wind off the lake, but it will still be a pleasant day. The warming trend will continue into early next week, but the threat for passing showers and thunderstorms will return. Click here to view the video

At least 4 dead and 2 missing in San Antonio after heavy rains flood parts of Texas
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Heavy rains in San Antonio rapidly flooded roads, swept away submerged cars and sent some people scrambling up trees to escape fast-rising waters Thursday while firefighters made dozens of rescues across the nation's seventh-largest city. At least four people died and two were still missing, authorities said. The deaths all occurred in the northeast part of the city, where authorities found over a dozen vehicles in the water. Photos and video showed smashed and overturned vehicles submerged in a creek. Some of the people rescued in that area said they were swept off an interstate access road by 'sudden fast rising water,' San Antonio Fire Department spokesperson Joe Arrington said in an email. He said floodwaters swept vehicles into a creek and carried them downstream. Crews were bringing in search dogs Thursday afternoon to help find missing people, Arrington said. By afternoon, crews could be seen pulling heavily damaged vehicles out of the creek. Calls for water rescues began before sunrise, officials said. Two women and two men were found dead, according to police Chief William McManus, who did not have their ages. 'There were several people that were caught in that water that had climbed up into trees and we did do a couple of rescues out of trees and some rescues out of vehicles,' said fire department spokesperson Woody Woodward. From midnight to 8 a.m. the fire department made 65 water rescues, officials said. Ten people were rescued in the same area as where people were found dead, including four people who were taken to the hospital for injuries. The flooding occurred after a round of slow-moving showers and thunderstorms in the San Antonio area during the early morning hours Thursday, said Eric Platt, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Over 7 inches (17 centimeters) of rain fell in parts of the San Antonio area, according to the weather service. By midmorning, flooding was receding, though Platt noted that rain was still falling in some areas. He didn't expect additional rain to be as heavy as overnight but said anything that falls on saturated ground can lead to flooding. ___ Stengle reported from Dallas.
