Maryland Weather: Heavy storms before weekend sun
BALTIMORE — Tropical humidity along with scattered storms continue today with a fantastic weekend of weather to follow.
The air is warm and muggy and showers will linger through the first half of the day.
Morning temperatures are in the mid to upper 70s and we’re top out in the mid to upper 80s this afternoon.
More scattered showers and storms are possible this afternoon and evening ahead of a strong cold front. We could see some stronger thunderstorms, with isolated pockets of damaging winds possible. In addition to downpours, frequent cloud to ground lightning is possible along with some small hail. The greatest risk is 2 PM and 8 PM.
Humidity levels will fall late tonight, but the drop off in humidity will be most noticeable Friday. Friday looks fantastic with a mixture of sunshine and clouds, a northerly breeze, and highs in the middle to upper 80s.
We’ll continue with the nice weather right through the weekend. Go ahead and make outdoor plans! Both days feature sunshine with highs near 90°. Humidity levels over the weekend will stay nice and low.
Monday will be a transition day with increasing humidity and the chance for a few showers later in the day, mainly well west of Baltimore. Highs on Monday climb into the lower 90s.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be tropical in terms of humidity with some drenching afternoon and evening thunderstorms in some places. These will be of the hit or miss variety. Highs will be in the lower 90s, however, it will feel hotter with the high humidity.

CHESTER, MD. (WBFF) — Maryland State Police have charged a Queen Anne’s County man with attempted murder in connection with a trooper-involved shooting in Chester last week.
Police said Preston Scott Carter, 21, of Chester was arrested and, after consultation with the Office of the State’s Attorney in Queen Anne’s County, charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and related assault charges. After being treated at a local hospital, Carter was transported to the Queen Anne’s County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond, police said.
The shooting happened at about 3:40 p.m. on April 16, when troopers from the Centreville Barrack responded to the unit block of Sherman Way in Chester for a reported disturbance. A 9-1-1 caller told police a man with a knife was making threats, according to Maryland State Police.

Troopers met with the complainant when they arrived. While a trooper was making contact with the complainant, police said a man later identified as Carter advanced toward the trooper while wielding a knife. The trooper then fired her agency-issued firearm, striking him.
Police said medical treatment was immediately administered at the scene and Carter was flown by Maryland State Police Aviation Command to a local trauma center. No other injuries were reported.
The trooper involved has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, in line with department policy and standard procedures.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit is leading the investigation, and the Maryland State Police Internal Affairs Unit will also conduct an investigation.
