Residents in Maryland are advised to prepare for a First Alert Weather Day on Sunday due to the potential for severe thunderstorms. The day will begin with sunshine and heat, with temperatures climbing into the lower to mid-90s and a "feels like" temperature of 95° to 100°F due to humidity. Isolated severe storms may develop as early as 4 p.m., with a higher likelihood between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. These storms could bring damaging winds up to 70 mph, hail, heavy rain, and a risk of an isolated tornado.
Following Sunday's storms, clear and pleasant weather is expected to dominate Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be in the lower 80s on Monday, dropping to near 80° on Tuesday, with generally sunny skies and comfortable humidity. Showers might return on Wednesday morning as a warm front approaches, with highs reaching the mid-80s and increased humidity. Another period of potential severe thunderstorms is forecast for Thursday afternoon and evening.
The Juneteenth holiday and the first day of AFRAM may experience morning showers on Friday, though this is uncertain. Any precipitation is expected to clear by Friday evening. The upcoming weekend, Saturday and Sunday, promises spectacular weather with abundant sunshine, highs in the mid to upper 80s, and low humidity, making it ideal for outdoor events like AFRAM.
