BALTIMORE — The official high temperature at BWI was 97° today, which fell just shy of the record of 98° set back June of 2024. The Inner Harbor reached an astounding 104° today! That's because of the urban Heat Island Effect! The asphalt and concrete absorb solar radiation, making temperatures unbearably hot!
We have one more day of temperatures reaching the century mark (Tuesday), then we cool it down a tad bit on Wed and Thu. The heat wave finally breaks on Friday, as cloud cover will be thicker, making things cooler!
We are dry Tuesday, then see the return of late afternoon showers and storms returning Wednesday and lasting through Sunday, with the best likelihood of rain being Friday and Saturday.
