BALTIMORE — Good Tuesday night!
Baltimore soared to a staggering 84°F today, shattering the old record of 80°F set in 2016. A combination of bright sunshine, low humidity, and light southerly winds allowed temperatures to climb even higher than forecast.
Here’s a fun weather fact: Today’s high of 84°F is actually the average high temperature for June 14th — so we essentially skipped ahead three months on the calendar!
Now let’s talk about the big weather story of the week: the threat for severe storms on Wednesday.
Two weather systems will be working together — one across the Great Lakes and another moving in from the south. We may start the day with a few morning showers, and if those linger they could temporarily limit how unstable the atmosphere becomes. However, breaks of sunshine during the afternoon would allow that instability to rebound.
That means all modes of severe weather are possible, including damaging winds, large hail, and even a few tornadoes.
Right now, the most likely window for severe storms looks to be between 3 and 7 PM Wednesday.
Behind the system, clouds linger into Thursday with a few morning showers possible, and temperatures will turn much colder compared to the warmth we've been enjoying.
Thanks,
Dylan
