Maryland Weather: Much Of Maryland Under Severe Thunderstorm Watch

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Strong to severe storms are possible on this WJZ Alert Day.

Much of central Maryland is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

The National Weather Service has issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch until midnight for Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George's and Washington counties and Baltimore City.

Damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes would be the primary threats, though heavy downpours and localized flooding are possible.

The best window for us to see these storms would be heading into the late afternoon and evening hours.

For the most part, we should stay dry for much of the day.

Our forecast calls for an afternoon high near 88 degrees, though it might feel warmer due to the humidity.

We will cool down tonight with temperatures dipping into the low 70s.

Friday is shaping up to be breezy and hot with a blend of sunshine and clouds and temperatures climbing into the mid 90s.

There is a chance for a brief shower or storm before the humidity fades later in the day.

A seasonably strong cold front moves through the area on Friday evening.

That will usher in cooler air and lower humidity just in time for our weekend.

Saturday is looking breezy and cooler with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 70s. That's great news for everyone attending AFRAM.

Sunday is expected to be a little bit warmer with temperatures in the low 80s as we celebrate Father's Day and Juneteenth.
