Maryland Weather: Welcome break from the heat with few lingering showers

BALTIMORE -- Some patchy fog will be possible overnight under partly cloudy skies with low temperatures dropping into the upper 60s and lower 70s. 

Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies on Thursday with a chance for a few showers lingering into the morning and early afternoon, especially for areas south of Baltimore. 

High temperatures on Thursday will be noticeably cooler in the mid to upper 80s to near 90 degrees. The humidity will also be noticeably lower.

Those lower humidity values will set us up for a comfortably cool night on Thursday night with lows dropping into the mid to upper 60s. Expect partly to mostly sunny skies on Friday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

The front will stall just to our south starting the weekend and will begin lifting back to the north as a warm front as we head into next week. 

This will bring a slightly better chance for afternoon showers and storms on Sunday as the warm front gets closer. Expect high temperatures on Saturday to reach the mid to upper 80s, with highs near 90 on Sunday.

Clouds and chances for showers and storms are expected to start next week as the warm front lifts across the area. Expect scattered storm chances, especially during the afternoon hours from Monday through Wednesday, with high temperatures in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees and lows at night dropping into the low to mid-70s.
