Scattered Showers and Storms Tuesday in Maryland
We woke up on Tuesday to some fog like on Monday but it wasn't as dense across the area. Patchy fog remains this morning before clearing. Southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore are under a level 1 (of 5) risk for severe weather today. We're expecting spotty storms to develop across parts of the state and we could see one or two of those storms strengthen later today. Stronger thunderstorms could bring gusty winds and potential downpours. Some Maryland neighborhoods stay on the drier side today. In addition to the isolated storm chance today, we may also notice a difference in humidity. It was a steamy start to the day however comfort levels will increase as we go toward the later part of the day. Highs on Tuesday reach the upper 70s to mid-80s. Warmer air moves in for the rest of the work week. We'll see more in the way of 80s and some low 90s for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. As of now, it still looks like Father's Day weekend brings another round of potential showers and storms to Maryland.

Alert Day for Friday; stormy end of the week for Maryland
A turbulent end to the work week will give way to a stretch of sunny, warmer days beginning Sunday, offering a much-needed break from recent unsettled weather. Skies will remain mostly cloudy overnight Thursday, with temperatures holding in the 60s. A disturbance tracking south of the area will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to parts of Southern Maryland later tonight and into early Friday morning. Areas north, including Baltimore, should stay dry to start the day Friday with continued cloud cover. An ALERT DAY has been issued for Friday afternoon through Friday night, as another round of storms is expected to move through the region. Some storms may become severe, with the potential for damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, hail, and frequent lightning. Southern Maryland faces a low-end risk for isolated tornadoes. Rain chances linger into Friday night and early Saturday as the final disturbance in the series moves through late Saturday morning into the afternoon. While showers and thunderstorms will be possible, forecasters emphasize Saturday will not be a total washout. Highs will stay on the cooler side, topping out in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. Sunshine returns on Sunday, accompanied by a breeze and pleasant highs in the low to mid-70s—a picture-perfect day for outdoor plans. The warming trend continues into next week. Monday and Tuesday will feature dry conditions and plenty of sunshine, with highs climbing through the 70s into the low 80s. Temperatures will peak midweek, with mid-80s expected Wednesday and upper 80s Thursday ahead of an approaching cold front, which could bring another chance for storms late in the day.

85-year-old longtime House Democrat facing primary challenger who's making age a key issue
Print Close By Paul Steinhauser Published May 29, 2025 Longtime Democratic Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer has yet to announce whether he will seek re-election next year for a 24th two-year term in Congress. If he does, he will face a primary challenger who is making Hoyer's age – the congressman turns 86 next month and would be 89 at the end of his next term – a centerpiece of his campaign. Harry Jarin, 35, a volunteer firefighter and emergency services' consultant, said Thursday in a new video announcing his candidacy, "If you live here in southern Maryland, I want to ask you a tough question. Do you really think that Steny Hoyer, at 89-years-old, is the best person to represent us?" Jarin argued that "we're in a moment of real crisis. Radical Republicans are burning down our country around us. Our friends and family who work in the government are losing their jobs. We keep sending politicians like Steny Hoyer back to Congress again and again. Tired politicians like Steny can't put up a fight that we need." PARTY VICE CHAIR IGNITES FIRESTORM WITH PUSH TO PRIMARY CHALLENGE OLDER HOUSE DEMOCRATS "Here's the bottom line: you don't put out a fire by sending in the same people who let it spread. Send in a firefighter," Jarin said. "Maryland deserves a new generation of leadership, and I'm ready to take up the fight." Fox News reached out to Hoyer's office for a response, but a spokesperson declined to respond. Hoyer, who first won his seat in Congress in a 1981 special election, from 2003 to 2023, was the second ranking House Democrat behind Rep. Nancy Pelosi. He served as House Majority Leader from 2007-2011 and from 2019-2023, when the Democrats controlled the chamber. Along with Pelosi, Hoyer stepped down from his longtime leadership position at the end of 2022 but remained in Congress. DEMOCRATS PREDICT HOUSE REPUBLICANS WILL PAY PRICE FOR PASSING TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' "I think all of us have been around for some time and pretty much have a feel for the timing of decisions. And I think all three of us felt that this was the time," Hoyer told CNN at the time, as he referred to the moves by the top three House Democrats - Pelosi, Hoyer and Rep. Jim Clyburn - to step down from their leadership roles. Hoyer has long been a major backer of the Democrats' top issues, and during his second tenure as House Majority Leader, he played a crucial role in the passage of then-President Joe Biden's so-called American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. He represents Maryland's Democrat-dominated 5th Congressional District, which covers a region known as Southern Maryland, and includes the suburbs south and east of Washington D.C., a sliver of suburban Baltimore and Annapolis, as well as rural areas farther south. Hoyer, who suffered a minor stroke last year, is the latest high-ranking House Democrat to face a primary challenge from a younger opponent. Pelosi and Reps. Brad Sherman of California and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois have drawn primary challenges, with Schakowsky later announcing that she will no longer run for re-election. The primary challenges come as Democrats are still trying to regroup following last November's election setbacks, when the party lost control of the White House and their Senate majority, and came up short in their bid to win back the House. The party's base is angry and energized to push back against the sweeping and controversial moves by President Donald Trump in the four months since he returned to the White House. Additionally, while much of that anger and energy is directed at fighting the White House and congressional Republicans, some of it is targeted at Democrats whom many in the party's base feel aren't vocal enough in their efforts to stymie Trump. Concurrently, other longtime and older House Democrats in safe blue districts are facing the possibility of primary challenges. This, after newly elected Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg last month pledged to spend millions of dollars through his outside political group to back primary challenges against what he called "asleep at the wheel" House Democrats – lawmakers he argued have failed to effectively push back against Trump.
