Mid-August Heat: Humid Weather Through Friday
12 Aug
Summary
- Moderately hot and humid weather expected until Friday.
- Perseids meteor shower viewing may be impacted by clouds and storms.
- Saturday offers pleasant conditions, while Sunday brings increased rain chances.
The current week offers a stretch of mid-August weather characterized by moderate heat and humidity, with isolated showers and storms anticipated through Friday. While most of the time will remain rain-free, the chance of a passing shower or storm exists. Tonight, viewing the Perseids meteor shower may prove difficult due to expected cloud cover and scattered rain between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
Thursday is set to be hotter, with high temperatures around 90°F and "feels like" temperatures reaching the low to mid-90s. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible but not guaranteed. Friday will continue to be warm and muggy, with a few passing showers and storms that may disrupt plans but will not constitute a washout. Significant humidity relief is expected to arrive by Friday night into Saturday.
Saturday is poised to be the most pleasant day of the weekend, featuring a mix of sun and clouds and afternoon highs in the low to mid-80s. Conditions are expected to be favorable for the Ravens' preseason game on Saturday evening, with comfortable humidity and kickoff temperatures in the 70s. Sunday, however, will bring more clouds, particularly in the afternoon and evening, along with an increasing chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, with chances escalating into Monday.
