Quiet and mild for Memorial Day in Maryland
Sunshine returns late in the morning going into the afternoon, mixing with some clouds. Temperatures peak in the 70s this afternoon away from the mountains and the beaches. Across the state it looks like a great weather day to get outside for any reason - exercise, parades, cookouts. With low humidity, it'll be another great day to open up the windows and let the light breeze through.
Clouds will eventually start to fill back in later today. We stay dry through late on Tuesday.
Tuesday night into Wednesday brings our next round of widespread rain to the area. Showers on Wednesday may be heavy at times. High temperatures on Wednesday briefly dip back into the mid to upper 60s.
Thunderstorms look more likely on Thursday but overall rain chances look more scattered for the end of the work week.

Japan sets new record high temperature of 41.8C
Japan logged two new heat records in a day on Tuesday, with the mercury hitting 41.6C and then 41.8C, the weather office said, warning temperatures may rise further still. Temperatures the world over have soared in recent years as climate change creates ever more erratic weather patterns, and Japan is no exception. The scorching temperatures in the city of Isesaki on Tuesday surpassed the previous record seen in the western Hyogo region of 41.2C only last week. Japan's summer last year was the joint hottest on record, equalling the level seen in 2023, followed by the warmest autumn since records began 126 years ago. Last week in tourist hotspot Kyoto the mercury hit 40C, the first time any of its observation points -- the oldest opened in 1880, the newest in 2002 -- had seen such a high, authorities said. Experts warn Japan's beloved cherry trees are blooming earlier due to the warmer climate -- or sometimes not fully blossoming -- because autumns and winters are not cold enough to trigger flowering. The famous snowcap of Mount Fuji was absent for the longest recorded period last year, not appearing until early November, compared with the average of early October. July was also the hottest since records began in 1898, the weather agency said Friday, with the average monthly temperature 2.89C above the 1991-2020 average. - South Korea sizzles - South Korea also saw its second-hottest July, with an average temperature of 27.1C, according the meteorological office, which has been collecting such data since 1973. The hottest July on record in South Korea was in 1994, when the average temperature reached 27.7 degrees Celsius. In Japan some dams and paddies nationwide are experiencing a water shortage, with farmers complaining that the sizzling heat combined with the lack of rain is slowing rice cultivation. Precipitation in July was low over wide areas of Japan, with northern regions facing the Sea of Japan experiencing record low rainfall, it added. The rainy season ended about three weeks earlier than usual in western regions of Japan, another record. Every summer, Japanese officials urge the public to seek shelter in air-conditioned rooms to avoid heatstroke. The elderly in Japan -- which has the world's second-oldest population after Monaco -- are particularly at risk. This year western Europe saw its hottest June on record, as extreme temperatures blasted the region in punishing back-to-back heatwaves, according to the EU climate monitor Copernicus. Dangerous weather stretched into July, with separate research estimating that climate change made the temperature up to 4C hotter, pushing the thermometer into deadly territory for thousands of vulnerable people and greatly worsening the projected death toll. Millions were exposed to high heat stress as daily average temperatures in western Europe climbed to levels rarely seen before -- and never so early in the summer. tmo-stu/fox

Gov. Polis declares disaster emergency for LeRoux Fire in western Colorado
Another disaster emergency has been declared in western Colorado due to wildfires burning across the western half of the state. Late Monday night, Gov. Jared Polis verbally declared a disaster emergency to support efforts to bring the LeRoux Fire in Delta County under control. The LeRoux Fire has burned around 700 acres so far, and 15 homes have already been evacuated. Another 152 homes are on pre-evacuation notice. The fire is on Oak Mesa east of 3100 Road and north of Hwy 92 between Hotchkiss and Redlands Mesa. The Bureau of Land Management has ordered evacuations for: The Delta County Sheriff's Office requested state assistance, saying the fire has grown beyond the capacity of local resources. This declaration will allow for the state to support suppression efforts with external resources. Polis said interagency aviation and ground resources have been mobilized to assist, including air and overhead resources. An update from the Hotchkiss Fire District on Monday night said: "The Leroux fire was active throughout the day, provoked by Red Flag weather conditions. The relative humidity was as low as 2 percent at times, with winds out of the southwest blowing 15-18 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. Fire crews worked direct along the fire's edge alongside heavy equipment where it was safe to do so. Heavy aerial support was necessary to retard fire spread and reduce the intensity of the fire so crews on the ground could work. There is currently no containment on this fire. However, significant progress was made in slowing fire growth and protecting private property and other values at risk." The disaster emergency declaration goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5. A Type 3 Incident Management team will take command of the fire at 6 a.m.

Tuesday in Philadelphia will be warm as Canadian wildfire smoke blankets parts of region. Here's the forecast.
A touch of haze from Canadian wildfire smoke will continue to blanket much of the Philadelphia region, which will filter the sun and slightly limit afternoon warmth on Tuesday. That smoke will likely be with us for a few days as the winds favor bringing the smoke into our area. Those northerly winds, however, will keep our humidity levels moderately low for this time of year, so at least that's a bonus. Tuesday stays warm and dry, with highs near 90 and a bit more humidity under partly cloudy skies. Clouds will build Tuesday evening as moisture moves in on an onshore flow. By Wednesday, high pressure to our north keeps us mainly dry, but clouds increase from a system to our south. A few stray showers are possible late Wednesday into Thursday, mainly south and east of the city. Temperatures will dip into the upper 70s and low 80s on Thursday before rebounding into the mid-80s for Friday and the weekend. Other than a stray shower chance, mainly south of the city, we'll be on a fairly dry stretch to start August. The next chance of region-wide showers isn't until Sunday and Monday of next week, so enjoy some guilt-free rainless days. Tuesday: More clouds. High 89, Low 66. Wednesday: Mostly cloudy. High 80, Low 70. Thursday: Mostly sunny. High 81, Low 69. Friday: Mostly sunny. High 84, Low 65. Saturday: Sun and clouds. High 85, Low 65. Sunday: Shower possible. High 85, Low 68.
