BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — A heat and humidity-fueled storm pattern is building across the Mid-Atlantic this week, with daily storm chances running Wednesday through Friday and the best chance for severe weather featuring damaging winds arriving on Friday before a front sweeps through the region this weekend.
Daily Storm Chances Build Through the Week
Storm chances will be present each day from Wednesday through Friday across Maryland and the broader Mid-Atlantic region. Locally heavy rainfall is possible with any of these storms as deep moisture remains locked in place across the coast. Dew points across the region are running in the low to mid 70s according to the ECMWF 2m dew point analysis valid Saturday June 13, reflecting an exceptionally humid air mass in place through the week.
The dry air to the northwest sits well back behind a frontal boundary, leaving the Mid-Atlantic squarely within the humid zone through the end of the week.
Friday Brings the Best Severe Weather Potential
The highest threat window for damaging winds arrives on Friday as the approaching front interacts with the deep humidity and heat in place across Maryland and surrounding states. Damaging wind gusts are identified as the primary severe weather concern during the Friday storm window.
Residents should be prepared for multiple rounds of storms through the week with Friday’s setup carrying the most significant severe weather potential of the three-day stretch.
Front Sweeps Through This Weekend but Transition Could Be Rough
A frontal passage is expected to clear most of the humidity off the coast by the weekend, bringing drier and more comfortable conditions to the region. However forecasters are noting the transition itself could produce a bumpy ride across Maryland as the boundary pushes through.
Residents across the Mid-Atlantic should remain weather-aware daily from Wednesday through the weekend and monitor updated forecasts as each storm window approaches.
