BALTIMORE — 4-20-23 Update: Models are coming in a touch cooler for Friday. We will still be very close to a record, but may just fall short.

Another taste of summer is headed our way. We are set to warm into the mid and even upper 80s by Friday. If we can get to 88° we will tie a record high. Our forecast, for now, is 89°. If we can get there we will break that record high set back in 1957. That would make for 66 years standing!

Not only would we break a record at 89°. We would tie our warmest temperature of the year so far. We hit 89° on the 13th of April. It might be tough to get to, but if we can manage 90° on Friday that would mark the first 90° of the year. Just for some perspective, last year we didn't hit 90° until May 20th. We would be ahead of 2022 if we can get there Friday.

I will make adjustments to this blog as we update the forecast.
