Anticipated Summer Heat Waves with Intermittent Rainfall Expected in Maryland Over the Weekend
Maryland is currently experiencing a typical late summer weather pattern, with high temperatures and potential for occasional thunderstorms. However, specific details for this week are not provided in the search results.
High Temperatures and Humidity
This summer has been particularly hot in Maryland, causing heat-related illnesses and deaths. The state has seen a high number of fatalities due to heat, especially among the elderly [3]. As we move into late August, temperatures will continue to be high, with Sunday peaking in the low to mid-90s before 5 p.m. [1] The humidity in central Maryland is high enough to make it feel a few degrees hotter than the thermometer shows.
Refreshingly Cooler Weather Ahead
After Tuesday, Maryland will experience refreshingly low humidity and cooler temperatures, with temperatures staying in the upper 70s and lower 80s across central Maryland through the rest of the week [2]. This cooler weather will be a welcome relief from the heat, providing a more comfortable environment for residents and visitors alike.
Potential for Storms
Hit-or-miss storms are possible before sunset in Maryland [4]. Afternoon heat on Sunday will give way to a few pop-up showers and storms. It's important to stay updated on weather conditions, as these storms could potentially lead to heavy rain and breezy winds.
Hurricane Erin Update
As of my last update, there is no specific information available regarding Hurricane Erin's impact on Maryland or any detailed forecast for the week involving storms and temperatures directly related to Hurricane Erin in the search results. However, Hurricane Erin is now a Category 5 with 160 mph sustained winds [5]. The hurricane is forecast to move northwest and eventually parallel the East Coast during the upcoming week, after a more northerly turn [6]. A front will help steer "Erin" away from the United States, bringing a greater chance of rain to Maryland on Tuesday and Wednesday [7].
Looking Ahead
For the week of August 25-31, 2025, there isn't specific information on storms or extreme weather events like hurricanes. However, the general late summer weather pattern in Maryland often includes warm temperatures and occasional thunderstorms. The 8-14 Day Temperature Outlook suggests temperatures may be near normal or above normal for some areas, but specific details for Maryland are not provided in the search results [4].
For the most accurate and up-to-date weather forecast, including any potential impact from hurricanes, it's best to check local weather services, such as the National Weather Service (NWS) or local news outlets.
