BALTIMORE — Happy Thursday! Another hot and hazy day with high temperatures nearing the triple digits. Skies will appear hazy due to wildfire smoke from Canada. This will lead to poor air quality through Friday. High temperatures will gradually decline into the mid-90s this weekend, with an increased risk for showers and thunderstorms. Right now, Saturday appears to have the greatest chance for widespread thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. Temperatures trend more seasonal next week with rain and storm chances mid-week.
Have a sunny day!
