BALTIMORE — Good Wednesday night to you!
The two most important things to discuss will be..
a. Extreme heat Thursday
b. Bad air quality
Lets start with the extreme heat! Our hottest day of the season so far will arrive Thursday, with highs around 93° and heat indices around 96°. Luckily, this won't be an extended heat wave as temps cool down by the weekend. Drink a lot of water, and avoid strenuous activities during the hottest hours of the day from 11a-7p. Also, keep in mind the temperatures of asphalt can reach 150°+ when walking your dog, so be mindful of that!
Air quality will be poor on Thursday. The category ranks as unhealthy for sensitive groups, which means if you have any respiratory issues, you should avoid being outside.
Looking ahead....the pattern turns cooler and wetter this weekend as several rounds of showers push into the region. It's not looking like a washout, so I wouldn't cancel any outdoor plans, but have an alternative plan B to get to a dry place if it starts to rain.
