Morning Report
Today is THE DAY! The worst of this heat wave, and it may be dangerous to be outside this afternoon. The Heat Index may approach 105ºF to 110ºF, making it dangerous to be outside without precautions such as appropriate clothing and fluids. There is also poor air quality, which is why the Special Olympics Summer Games has canceled some of their activities today, along with many other plans. This includes my son’s baseball practice and you might want to check ahead for other youth sports.
Hot and Humid!
The relief of cooler weather is on the other side of a nearly stalled cold front across the Northern US. This front will slide south and reach us Sunday night into Monday.
The tropical-like system off the Florida and Georgia coast has lost potential to develop into anything substantial.
The humidity will be more noticeable, making it feel like 100ºF or hotter.
Sunrise at 5:41 AM
Sunset at 8:37 PM
Normal Low in Baltimore: 65ºF
Record 46ºF in 1992
Normal High in Baltimore: 87ºF
Record 100ºF 1988
Dangerous Heat! Heat Index may reach 110ºF in central Maryland. Isolated T’storms in the afternoon.
The humidity may make it feel like close to 110ºF.
This product is a suggestion, NOT a promise of timing or location. There will be pop-up storms during the afternoon and evening, with 2 lines of storms to follow.
The next chance for storms is Wednesday evening to Thursday, followed by a slightly cooler and less humid air mass.
Dangerous Heat this weekend will break a little with some T’storms Sunday evening into Monday morning. Another push of very hot weather during the week should be short-lived, with more storms later Wednesday into Thursday.

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. 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 during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
