Maryland residents should brace for a volatile weather week: explosive storms arrive early, paving the way for an unrelenting heat wave by the weekend.

Tuesday kicks off with escalating clouds and a surge of moisture. A heavy thunderstorm is expected to roll in late afternoon, bringing the potential for flooding downpours, small hail, damaging wind gusts, and even an isolated tornado. Afternoon plans should be flexible—storms may pop up quickly.

Wednesday and Thursday stay warm and humid. Afternoon thunderstorms will return both days, fueled by the wet air mass. Expect gusty winds and localized flooding in brief downpours. These are classic early-summer storms, growing quickly and dissipating just as sharp.

By Friday, storm chances drop off, but so does the relief. Cooler evenings give way to intense daytime heat. Saturday and Sunday will bring scorching temps around 92–94°F, with Monday spiking to 96°F—the hottest day since last summer. Early heat advisories may appear as heat indices click toward 100°F.
