BALTIMORE — Happy Friday! An Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect from 10 AM to 8 PM as afternoon temperatures climb into the low 100s. When you factor in the humidity, it'll feel more like 110 to 113 degrees, so be sure to limit time outdoors and stay hydrated. A few isolated thunderstorms could develop this afternoon. Damaging wind gusts and intense downpours will be the main concerns to watch out for.
The heat isn't going anywhere on Saturday. Highs will once again push the upper 90s to around 100 degrees, with heat index values climbing as high as 108. Saturday also brings a better chance for thunderstorms, and some of those could become severe. The main threats will be damaging wind gusts of up to 70 mph, along with torrential rainfall that could lead to localized flooding, especially in poor drainage and urban areas. Stay weather-aware if you have outdoor plans for the holiday weekend.
Have a sunny day!
