High heat, humidity, & storms mid-week

Happy Wednesday! The high heat and humidity lingers today with highs in the upper-90s with heat index values well into the triple digits. Heat Advisories and Excessive Heat Warnings will go into effect from 11 AM - 8 PM today. This will be fuel for showers and storms that develop around mid/late-afternoon. Short-lived storms that form today may become strong to severe with damaging winds and flash flooding being the top concerns. A Flood Watch goes into effect from 2 PM through tonight for the Baltimore metro as rainfall rates up to 2" per hour is possible in strong thunderstorms. More seasonal late-week and this weekend with high temperatures climbing into the upper-80s and low-90s. There is a chance for isolated storms on Saturday, while Sunday looks mostly storm-free. The weather pattern looks more unsettled early next week.

Stay sunny & cool!
