Heat pumps in today, but that brings more humidity as well.
The result will be a band of showers and strong thunderstorms.
More storms will arrive tomorrow with a cold front, that will be followed by more pleasant air by Sunday.

More humidity means a warmer morning, but maybe not as hot in the afternoon with storms. The risk for severe weather is centered on our region.

This looks like an issue mainly between the mountains and I-95/Metro Baltimore. It may reach Annapolis and Easton by 10 PM.
Farther south and to the beaches should remain dry.
Looking Ahead:
Sunday will be cooler, but we ‘may’ see showers linger by the beaches. The overnight model guidance did move that farther south, but I want to see one more run before dropping that chance.
As of now, July 4th is looking good!

After storms that may turn severe on Saturday, it will be followed by a cooler Sunday. The July 4th- Monday should heat up again, but remain dry.
Another round of strong to severe storms is possible on Tuesday.

*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
