Pleasant weekend gives way to hotter weather in Maryland next week
It's been a hazy and mostly cloudy week across Maryland. Gradual clearing remains in the First Alert Forecast as we end the workweek and head into the weekend. Sunshine sends temperatures into the mid and upper 70s by noon. We'll peak in the upper 70s and lower 80s between 3 and 5 p.m. There will be a bit more sunshine today, compared to Thursday as gradual clearing continues.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
Unlike Thursday, the forecast favors completely dry weather through pre-game festivities and the game itself. After peaking in the lower 80s in Baltimore City, temperatures settle back into the 70s through the first few innings of the game. As August baseball goes, tonight's game at Camden Yards will be pleasant.
Plan for temperatures in the lower 70s and dry weather as the game ends.
After days of clouds, the forecast favors much sunnier weather both Saturday and Sunday.
Morning temperatures bottom-out in the upper 50s and 60s Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday features the 'coolest' afternoon, with temperatures peaking in the low to mid-80s. Temperatures warm into the mid and upper 80s Sunday afternoon. Dry weather is in the weekend First Alert Forecast.
Bay and beach conditions gradually improve through the weekend. Still, pay close attention to posted conditions and guidance along area beaches as an elevated risk of rip currents remains possible.
Most neighborhoods will reach the lower 90s Monday afternoon across central Maryland.
Temperatures peak in the low to mid-90s next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. With the mugginess factored in, it'll probably end up feeling hotter than 100° in may communities. A front approaches mid-week, bringing a greater chance of showers and storms as early as Wednesday.
Temperatures may cool a few degrees as we end next workweek.

Scattered showers, storms to hit South Florida ahead of this back-to-school weekend
A wet weekend ahead with scattered showers and storms around Saturday and Sunday. It is already a soggy start to our Saturday with showers rolling across parts of South Florida. Highs will climb to the upper 80s this afternoon. It will not be as hot due to the wet weather and cloud coverage. The chance of rain remains high today due to a slow-moving disturbance moving across the state. The moisture associated with this trough of low pressure will keep the atmosphere moist and unstable. Scattered storms may produce heavy downpours, lightning and gusty winds. A few storms could turn strong. There is a dangerous high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches. While there are no alerts or advisories for boaters along the Atlantic or Keys waters, there will be storms around and the potential for waterspouts. We remain unsettled Sunday with the potential for passing storms but the chance of rain will begin to decrease as the disturbance begins to move away. Some heavy rain will be possible in spots. Highs will rise to the low 90s and it will feel like the upper 90s and 100s when you factor in the humidity. The National Weather Service says heat advisories may be issued due to higher heat indices. As Broward county students head back to school on Monday, the chance of rain will go down and we will heat up. Highs will soar to the low 90s and it will feel like the triple-digits. Spotty storms will be possible to start the week and through mid week. The chance of rain will decrease by Thursday when Miami-Dade county students head back to school. The hot and steamy conditions continue with highs in the low 90s.

Pueblo sees string of near-record temperatures to kick off August. Will it stay this hot?
Sweltering temperatures approached record-tying territory for two consecutive days in Pueblo on Aug. 6 and Aug. 7, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Both days had 103-degree highs that fell just 1 degree short of tying records for the hottest Aug. 6-7 in Pueblo's history. The historic high for Aug. 6 occurred in 1969, while the high for Aug. 7 occurred in 1995. Pueblo's hottest day on record was July 13, 2003, when temperatures reached 109 degrees. Around 10:15 a.m. on Aug. 8, NWS Pueblo Meteorologist Kathy Torgerson told the Chieftain the daily high was expected to reach 104 degrees later in the afternoon, which would tie a 1969 record for Aug. 8. However, Torgerson said the heat was forecast to taper off coming into the weekend. "(Aug. 9) we'll still be on the warm side, but we are talking mid-90s — which is more in line with summer around here," she said. "Then Sunday will be even cooler. It will be 84 for a high, which is really nice... We stay on the cool side for a couple more days: Monday 85, and then Tuesday we start to creep back up into the low 90s." Temperatures are forecast to rise to the upper 90s by the end of the work week, but Pueblo is not expected to see more 100-degree temperatures during this time. "Any time you get near records, you're on the upper side of the spectrum... There have been hotter days than this in the past, but we are certainly above normal," Torgerson said of the early August heat. Back-to-back daily temperatures above 100 degrees in the first seven days of August is not a common phenomenon for Pueblo, according to NWS data, as 2025 is only the sixth time since 2000 it's happened. Black Hills shares summer energy-saving tips With higher temperatures often come higher energy bills. Black Hills Energy, the electric utility provider for Pueblo County, shared a news release with the Chieftain on Aug. 8 with tips on how to save money on energy while continuing to stay cool. Such tips include using a programmable thermostat that can be raised 5 degrees when there's no one home, inspecting homes for air leaks, unplugging equipment that is not being used, using ventilating fans in moderation, running complete laundry loads, running complete dishwasher loads, opting to cook on a grill outside, and distancing household electronics from thermostats. Black Hills Energy's online portal at allows customers to see how energy is being used in real-time. "Customers looking to cool down their energy bills can enroll in Budget Billing, a free payment plan, that provides greater predictability by averaging the amount customers pay each month. This option allows customers to avoid the seasonal increases that can result from higher summer temperatures," according to the news release.

Stellar Start to the Weekend Across Maryland
Happy Saturday, Maryland! It was a crisp start to to the day with morning lows in the 50s and 60s across the area. Prepare your sunscreen and sunglasses as we're forecasting bountiful sunshine today. Humidity will stay comfortable through the day and may actually decrease later on, increasing the comfort level even more. Missed the full moon on Friday night/Saturday morning? With clear skies tonight, you'll get a chance to see the nearly full moon this evening again. More sunshine returns for Sunday. Temperatures in the afternoon may be a degree or two warmer as we're heading into a warming trend. Overall, Sunday looks to be a near carbon copy of the weather we'll have on Saturday. Quiet and comfortable conditions continue into Monday. Again, temperatures will be slightly warmer and that may also come with a slight uptick in humidity. You'll definitely notice the humidity on Tuesday with another increase in the 'muggy meter'. Steamy conditions will stay with us through the second half of the 7-day forecast. Wednesday will bring our next chance for showers and possibly storms in the afternoon. Storm chances remain for Thursday and Friday, as well.
