BALTIMORE– Intense heat and humidity continue through the early evening with the risk of severe thunderstorms.
We’re looking at another brutal afternoon of heat and humidity as highs soar into the middle to upper 90s. Unlike the past few days, this afternoon and evening features much more humidity. This means the feels like temperature will range from 100 to 110. Highs across the area won’t break records but will feel awfully hot.

We’ll see another chance of strong to severe storms during the afternoon and evening hours with damaging winds being the primary threat.
Over the weekend, the chance for showers and storms continues. While it won’t be quite as hot, the weather will still be muggy. The chances for showers & storms are greatest on Saturday night and Sunday night. The Ravens opener looks warm and muggy with the chance of a shower.
