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.

Florida mom killed, three small children injured after truck collides with their van following tire blowout
A Florida mother was killed and her three young children were injured in a car accident on Interstate 95 on Memorial Day after a truck experienced a tire blowout and collided with their van. Olivia Maggs, 32, was driving in the southbound lanes of I-95 by the Pineda Causeway in Brevard County on Monday afternoon when a tire blew out on an F-350, according to FOX 35 Orlando via Florida Highway Patrol. The blowout caused the driver of the truck, which was traveling in the center lane, to lose control and collide with Maggs' Honda Odyssey van, the outlet reported. Both vehicles went off the road and struck a guardrail. Maggs was pronounced dead at the scene, while her three children – an infant girl and two toddler boys – were airlifted to Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital, according to a GoFundMe set up by Maggs' sister-in-law. "By the grace of God, kind strangers stopped to help and pulled the children from the vehicle," she wrote, adding that the baby girl had a broken femur and a brain bleed. The two boys were also hurt, but "they are okay," she said. The 58-year-old truck driver and his 20-year-old passenger were not injured and remained at the scene of the crash, FOX 35 reported. Maggs was a "dedicated" and "beloved" nurse at Parrish Medical Center, the health system wrote on Facebook in a post mourning her death. She worked at the hospital for nine years and began in the Medical-Surgical Department as a graduate nurse before transferring to the Women's Center. "Olivia's kindness, strength and gentle spirit left a lasting impact on her patients, fellow Care Partners and everyone fortunate enough to know her. Our hearts are with her family, friends and children during this unimaginable time. We are grieving alongside them and will forever carry her memory in our hearts," the post stated. Hundreds of comments were left on the post, with dozens of women sharing their positive experiences with Maggs as a nurse and as a friend. "You never forget the name and face of someone who made such a lasting impression on you. For all three of my children's births at Parrish Olivia was one of the most encouraging and supportive nurses. She guided me through strapping my firstborn in his car seat as we had never done it before and I was so anxious. My heart is with her family and all who mourn her," one woman wrote. More than $126,000 had been donated to the GoFundMe account as of early Wednesday morning. "Olivia was a kind, beautiful soul—a loving and gentle mother, devoted wife, and cherished daughter, sister, friend, and compassionate nurse. Her absence leaves a deep void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her," the GoFundMe reads.
