The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is again offering an online process for Maryland hunters to apply for a 2024-2025 waterfowl blind site license. From July 15 through July 29 at 11:59 p.m., hunters and riparian landowners may enter the annual lottery for the opening days of blind site licensing.
Hunters and riparian landowners with a DNRid can register to be entered into a random lottery for a county of their choice. Anyone can register for a DNRid through the department’s online licensing portal.
Lottery entrants will be sent a link to a virtual meeting platform (Microsoft Teams) where a department representative will guide them through the blind site licensing process.
There is no charge to enter the lottery. Hunters must be Maryland residents and must have purchased either a 2023-2024 or 2024-2025 Maryland hunting license prior to their appointment to license offshore waterfowl hunting blind sites. Landowners are exempt from the hunting license requirement but will need to produce proof of property ownership.
Additional information and important instructions are available on the department’s website. Winners of the lottery will be posted on the department’s website and will be notified by email with the time, date, and virtual meeting link for the meeting. These virtual meetings will begin August 6 and continue during normal business hours. In some counties, appointments will take place on multiple business days.
After the opening days, blind site licensing for all counties will occur by appointment only. Customers may begin making appointments online on August 14 for virtual meetings that will begin August 19. Customers who schedule an appointment will receive an email that includes a virtual meeting link to communicate with DNR staff at the appropriate date and time.

Maryland Weather: Brutal heat returns Monday through Wednesday

BALTIMORE- ALERT DAYS issued Monday through Wednesday for dangerous heat & humidity. Late week storms should provide relief.
Humidity levels fell Sunday providing some relief from the stifling heat and humidity levels from Friday and Saturday. Even with the break in humidity, the high temperature Sunday afternoon still hit 97° at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. We have a hot evening ahead, but the air does feel better with the lower humidity. Temperatures will stay in the 90s in the Baltimore metro through at least 8 PM.
With a mostly clear sky tonight, temperatures will fall into the lower 70s for areas well outside the Baltimore Beltway. Inside the Beltway, lows will only fall into the upper 70s.
The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has issued FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS for more dangerous heat and humidity Monday through Wednesday. High temperatures will climb into the middle to upper 90s with heat index values topping out between 100° and 108°. Please continue to take all heat precautions including taking breaks in areas with A/C, frequently hydrating with water, wearing light weight, colored clothing, and avoiding strenuous activities outdoors. Overnight lows will only dip to around 80° in urbanized areas and mid to upper 70s in our more rural communities.
Isolated thunderstorms are possible Monday through Wednesday afternoon. These storms will be rather sparse in coverage, but some lucky areas will receive some drenching downpours and brief relief from the extreme heat with any storms that form. The better chance for isolated storms will be during the afternoon and early evening hours Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thursday also looks rather hot and muggy ahead of a cold front. There is the possibility of an ALERT DAY for Thursday if confidence grows for more extreme heat and humidity. The cold front should spawn showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours as it encounters tropical humidity. Any storms will be capable of torrential downpours, intense lightning, and isolated flash flooding.
Friday is our best chance of widespread soaking showers and storms as the remnants of “Beryl” pass to our north helping draw up tropical humidity from the south. Showers and thunderstorms should be numerous Friday throughout the day. With the showers & storms fairly widespread, high temperatures should stay in the middle to upper 80s Friday. Storms on Friday could also contain drenching downpours, intense lightning, and localized flooding.
A few leftover scattered storms are possible Saturday as highs climb toward 90°.
More intense heat and humidity look to return to the area next Sunday into early the following week.
