BALTIMORE — Good Monday night!

Clouds will be slow to break on Tuesday, although we should see a few intervals of sunshine throughout the day.

High pressure shifts offshore on Wednesday, allowing moisture to return and bringing back the chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms.

The greatest risk for severe weather this week appears to be Thursday and Friday afternoons. Strong daytime heating, increasing humidity, and an approaching cold front from the west will provide a favorable environment for strong to potentially severe storms.

We'll also turn up the heat significantly late this week. Highs on Thursday and Friday are expected to climb into the upper 90s. Unlike last week's relatively dry heat, humidity levels will be much higher, pushing heat index values close to 105°F.
