Rain ends, sun breaks out Saturday afternoon
By afternoon our winds will begin to shift to the Northwest allowing for dry air to filter in from the west leaving us with a partly sunny finish to the day. There could be an isolated spot shower or two working southeast during the afternoon, otherwise temperatures climb to the middle and upper 70's.
We are watching for some additional wildfire smoke to pass through the region, especially close to the ground, leaving to unhealthy air quality especially in the counties highlighted in gray!
Sunday features partly to mostly sunny skies, and temperatures climbing into the upper 70's
Have a great weekend!

Where there's risk of flooding across the U.S. this weekend
It's been a summer full of flooding — and there's more risk ahead for areas across the country from Friday through the weekend. About 20 million people are under flood watches Friday in two zones. One runs from Kentucky through most of West Virginia and Virginia. Another includes southern Louisiana and coastal Mississippi. Flooding is also anticipated elsewhere, but generally in more scattered fashion. Additional zones in the West and the Midwest are also under threat.

Some heat relief, isolated showers in Maryland through Saturday
Clouds will take a significant edge off the intense heat from Thursday. We'll see clouds linger into Saturday with a few isolated to widely scattered showers. Most of the weekend looks rain-free despite some rain chances. A weak cold front has pushed south of the area and that has brought in some much welcomed relief from the intense heat today into Saturday. Expect mostly cloudy skies with moderate to high levels of humidity. The highest humidity levels will remain across central and southern Maryland with more of a break from the humidity across northeastern Maryland. There is the possibility of a stray shower south of Baltimore City today. A better chance of isolated to widely scattered showers and storms tonight into Saturday as the boundary slowly lifts back to the north. High temperatures today and Saturday will be in the middle to upper 80s in and around the Baltimore metro. Northeastern Maryland will see highs in the lower to middle 80s. While humidity levels will back down across northeastern Maryland today, very tropical humidity will return across the area tonight and spread across the entire state of Maryland Saturday. Fortunately clouds will limit how hot we get Saturday during this stretch of very high humidity. Heat and humidity briefly return to the area Sunday. Expect a mixture of clouds and sunshine with much higher temperatures. Highs will climb into the lower 90s with heat index values reaching 95° to 100°. A cold front will approach the area during the afternoon and evening hours sparking off isolated strong to severe thunderstorms. We are not expecting many thunderstorms to form, but the ones that do have the capability of producing damaging winds, lightning, and heavy downpours. Any storms should exit by late Sunday evening as skies begin to clear and humidity levels will begin to drop toward sunrise Monday. Some of the best weather of the entire summer is coming to Maryland Monday through Wednesday of next week. High pressure to our north will push the intense levels of heat and humidity to our south for a few days. Monday and Tuesday look like the most comfortable days of this stretch with partly to mostly sunny skies, very low humidity, and comfortably warm temperatures. Highs Monday and Tuesday will be in the middle 80s. Overnight lows will even dip into the 60s for some better sleeping weather. Wednesday will be a transition day as winds veer out of the south bringing in more muggy air. Even though Wednesday looks more humid, the humidity levels don't look unbearable. Highs will top out in the upper 80s. Tough heat and humidity will be returning to Maryland late next week into next weekend. Look for tropical levels of humidity with potentially even hotter afternoon high temperatures in the middle 90s. Heat index values will once again climb to above 100°. In addition to the brutal heat and humidity returning, strong to severe storms may also return to the area, especially during the afternoon and evening hours next Friday through next weekend.

Pittsburgh weather won't be nearly as hot or humid as the weekend begins
Humidity levels will be lower today with dew points dipping to the mid to low 60s, and you'll feel the difference. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos The weekend is actually looking pretty good when it comes to having outdoor plans. Yes, there's going to be a chance for rain each day, but no day will be a washout. Please don't cancel any outdoor activities due to potential rain, as things are setting up to mostly be dry when you probably need it to be dry. Today's rain 'window' is probably the largest of the weekend, with rain showers rolling through as soon as 10 this morning. Isolated storms will also be possible after 3 this afternoon. The further south you are, the higher the chance for rain, with places north of Pittsburgh seeing only the tiniest of rain chances. Everyone south of I-70 should see some rain today, with the best chance for rain, including a brief downpour, happening late this afternoon. Humidity levels have come down, though, so I don't expect we will see anything like we saw over the past couple of weeks, with flash flooding being fairly common. If outside, you'll also notice the dip in humidity today. I have Pittsburgh barely getting back to the 80s today, and there is a chance the city doesn't hit the 80-degree mark. Skies will be cloudy to mostly cloudy today with light winds coming in out of the south. Saturday is looking dry for most of the day, with the best chance for rain coming after sunset. Saturday highs should hit the mid-80s with partly cloudy skies. Saturday morning should feel fantastic with lows dipping into the 60s for the second morning in a row. Sunday will likely see our best chance for rain before sunrise, with a cluster of storms expected to rumble through. Storm chances should linger into the afternoon on Sunday as we await a cool front sliding through. Sunday highs should be in the low 80s. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are all looking dry to me. Monday is looking pleasant with low humidity levels and highs in the low 80s. We will start to warm up on Tuesday (highs in the mid-80s) and Wednesday (highs in the upper 80s). Rain and storm chances return on Thursday and Friday next week, with temperatures continuing to warm up, too. I have Thursday's high temperature hitting 90°.
