Headline: Tropical Storm Erin Brings Heat and Potential Storms to Maryland
As Tropical Storm Erin continues its journey, it's set to bring a mix of heat and potential storms to Maryland. Here's what you need to know:
Heat Index
While explicit heat index values for Maryland from Thursday to Sunday are not available, the general outlook favors cooler conditions. The Climate Prediction Center's outlook indicates a moderate risk of heavy precipitation for parts of the Southeast and lower Mid-Atlantic on the weekend, suggesting reduced extreme heat risk through early September.
Storm Conditions
The Mid-Atlantic region, including Maryland, is forecasted to face a moderate risk of heavy precipitation and a slight risk of high winds over the weekend. This pattern indicates stormy weather conditions are likely. Afternoon and evening storms are expected in Maryland on Thursday.
Tropical Storm Erin Impact
While NOAA is monitoring Hurricane Erin, specific predictive information about its direct impact on Maryland's Atlantic beaches during this period is not available.
Beach Safety
Due to the dangerous situation at beaches up and down the east coast, it's recommended to swim at beaches with lifeguards on duty. Starting as early as this weekend, Tropical Storm Erin is expected to bring increasingly large swells and rough surf to Delaware and Maryland Atlantic beaches.
Weather Forecast
Maryland will experience hot and humid weather from Thursday through early next week. High temperatures in Maryland on Thursday will be close to 90°, and the heat index in the afternoon will reach the middle to upper 90s. Friday and Saturday afternoons will see the heat index drop slightly, reaching the lower to middle 90s. Sunday will be the hottest day in this stretch, with high temperatures in the lower 90s and heat index values near or above 100°.
Weather in Maryland is expected to be much drier from Friday into the weekend. However, some areas may experience brief and blinding downpours, gusty winds, lightning, and small hail.
Stay hydrated and take heat precautions during this stretch of hot weather. For detailed heat index values and localized storm forecasts for Maryland and Atlantic beach impacts from Tropical Storm Erin, consult NOAA’s National Weather Service or local weather offices closer to the date.
