Maryland Weather: Dangerous heat in store
BALTIMORE — Heat and humidity continue through Thursday with dangerous heat this weekend.
Monday was our first day of the heat wave, with temperatures hitting the low 90s in the afternoon. Today, Wednesday and Thursday will likely be repeats of that temperature range.
Humidity levels will be moderate, but not overwhelming during this time. The hottest neighborhoods will be located within Baltimore City and to the west and north of the City. Areas along Chesapeake Bay will see some relief with highs in the upper 80s.
Dangerous heat still seems most likely Friday through the upcoming weekend. Highs will reach the upper 90s to near 100 along with high humidity levels. This will cause feels like temperatures to surge into the 100 to 105 range with some isolated spots feeling even hotter. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has issued ALERT DAYS for Friday through Sunday for dangerous heat.
It’s important that you, your pets, and family stay hydrated, wear light weight, light colored clothing, take breaks inside in the A/C during this time. It’s important when the heat is this extreme that your body gets at least a few hour break from the intense heat.
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Saturday afternoon, especially in our western zones. Everyone in our area could receive hit or miss storms Sunday afternoon and evening. Another chance of scattered thunderstorms returns Monday.

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. — A t-bone crash involving a motorcycle left a 24-year-old Hampstead man dead on Saturday evening.
It happened around 6:30pm, along Marriottsville Road in Howard County.
That’s where a Yamaha FZ09 was heading northbound when it collided with an oncoming Nissan Rogue that was trying to make a left turn onto Warwick Way.
“Preliminary investigation suggests the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed,” Howard County Police said in a press release.
The motorcycle rider later died at University of Maryland Shock Trauma.
Police say the Nissan driver, who was not hurt, remained on scene and cooperated with investigators.
Marriottsville Road was reopened after being closed for about three-hours.
