BALTIMORE — Happy Wednesday! High temperatures will rise into the upper-90s this afternoon with heat index values in the triple digits. This will warrant Heat Advisories for central Maryland and Extreme Heat Warnings for the Eastern Shore. A few isolated pop-up thunderstorms will develop this afternoon. Any strong storm that forms could produce damaging winds and a downpour. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk (level 1/5) on Wednesday and Thursday. Rain and storm chances increase on Thursday, so make sure you stay weather aware. Thursday will feature high temperatures in the mid-90s, paired with heat indices still rising into the triple digits. The heatwave finally breaks on Friday as high temperatures rise into the low-80s. Our next heatwave kicks off this weekend as temperatures rebound back into the 90s. Expect daily showers and thunderstorms during the peak heating hours through early next week.
Have a sunny day!
