Baltimore, MD — Thursday’s weather brings a combination of sweltering heat and potential severe thunderstorms across the Baltimore-Washington region, as residents prepare for the Labor Day weekend. Temperatures are expected to soar near 100 degrees in some urban areas, with high humidity making conditions uncomfortable throughout the day.
The National Weather Service forecasts that isolated thunderstorms will develop this afternoon, primarily in western Maryland and surrounding areas. These storms are likely to intensify into the evening, posing threats of strong winds and small hail. The primary concern, however, is the potential for gusty winds, which could lead to localized power outages and hazardous conditions for travelers.
As the day progresses, thunderstorms will likely move eastward, gradually diminishing after midnight. Temperatures overnight are expected to drop into the mid-60s to mid-70s, offering some relief after a hot day. The region’s weather will be closely monitored as the Labor Day weekend approaches, with more unsettled conditions possible on Friday.
Residents are urged to stay informed and take precautions, especially those planning to travel or participate in outdoor activities over the holiday weekend.
