Read Time:1 Minute, 27 Second
Hope you enjoyed the pleasant weekend weather — highs in the mid-80s with low humidity Saturday and Sunday.
It’s soon going to seem like a distant memory.
High temperatures this week will range from 92 today to 101 on Saturday, the National Weather Service says, and there won’t be any rain until Sunday, when a high around 99 is accompanied by a chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Monday is expected to be mostly sunny, with a high near 92 with south wind 9 to 13 mph, gusting as high as 18 mph. The low will dip to around 75 with continued wind.
Tuesday is predicted to be sunny with a high near 95 and Wednesday, which is Juneteenth, will be sunny with a high around 93.
The forecast on Thursday, which is the summer solstice, calls for mostly sunny skies with a high near 94, then Friday will be mostly sunny and hot, with a high around 99.
Saturday will be mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 101. The record high at BWI Marshall Airport for June 22 is 100, set in 1988.
An area forecast discussion on the weather service website says, “A broad upper level ridge will remain in place over our region with high pressure over much of the mid-Atlantic through the end of this week.”
It goes on to say, “The early season nature of this extended period of 90 degree plus weather combined with increasing heat indices that could peak between 100 and 105 will likely necessitate the need for some heat headlines by the end of this week into the weekend.”
