Baltimore, Maryland – Scorching heat and scattered thunderstorms could make outdoor plans risky across Baltimore on Saturday, July 26, as dangerous weather targets Maryland.
According to the National Weather Service, highs will reach near 96°F in Baltimore with heat index values as high as 106°F by mid-afternoon. Storms are expected to begin after 2 p.m., increasing the chance for gusty winds, lightning, and localized flooding into the evening. Rain chances rise again overnight into Sunday, with a 60% chance of showers and storms continuing.
