Baltimore, Maryland – Dangerous heat will blanket Central Maryland Thursday as Baltimore climbs toward a sweltering 96°F, marking one of the hottest days of June so far. Commuters on I-95 and I-695 should plan for hazy, dry conditions by late morning, with pavement temperatures soaring through the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, calm winds and full sunshine will dominate Thursday, creating elevated heat index values near 100°F. Hydrate frequently, stay indoors during peak hours, and avoid strenuous activity outdoors — especially in areas like Howard and Anne Arundel counties where urban heat effects will be more intense.
Friday brings a shift. A slight chance of showers develops after 2 p.m., with highs again in the low 90s. Storm activity intensifies late Friday into Saturday, with a 60% chance of rain and thunderstorms by Friday night. Localized flooding is possible where storms stall, particularly along low-lying areas and overburdened roads.
Saturday stays stormy, with likely showers and another 90°F high. Outdoor events may be delayed or canceled due to unstable weather. By Sunday, the heat begins to ease, but spotty rain and thunder linger.
⚠️ Weather alerts may expand if heat index or storm risk increases — monitor updates daily.
