Maryland Alert Day this afternoon and evening for severe storms
Today begins with a mix of clouds and sunshine, but the weather will quickly turn active this afternoon. A First Alert Weather Day is in effect for widespread thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. Many of the storms will be strong to severe with damaging winds being the primary threat, but storms will also contain other hazards like flash flooding and intense lightning. Alert Day for severe storms after 2 p.m. Severe storms that form this afternoon and evening will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail, torrential rainfall, and frequent lightning. There is also the possibility of a few isolated tornadoes, particularly in areas that see sustained sunshine ahead of the front and that are close to Chesapeake Bay. Damaging winds is our greatest concern with the strongest storms packing winds of 65 to 75 mph. Some spots they could even be locally higher, so it's important to seek shelter if storms are approaching your area. The greatest risk for severe storms is from 2 pm until 8 pm. Please have multiple ways to receive warnings as power outages are possible in areas that receive the strongest storms. Behind the front, slightly drier and cooler air will filter into the region. Humidity levels will drop, offering temporary relief, and Thursday night temperatures will fall into the mid to upper 60s under clearing skies. Summer heat and AFRAM weekend That brief break will be short-lived. By the weekend, a surge of intense heat will build into the region, just in time for major outdoor events like the AFRAM festival in Baltimore. Highs on both Saturday and Sunday will rise into the low to mid-90s, and when combined with elevated humidity levels, heat index values could climb to near 100 degrees by Sunday afternoon. Festival-goers are urged to take precautions, including wearing light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, seeking shade when possible, and drinking plenty of water. The combination of heat and humidity may pose a health risk, particularly for children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions. Dangerous heat wave next week The real danger arrives early next week. A powerful upper-level ridge of high pressure will establish itself over the Mid-Atlantic, creating a multi-day stretch of extreme heat. First Alert Weather Days have been issued for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as temperatures soar. Actual high temperatures will flirt with 100 degrees each day, and the heat index could easily exceed that threshold, making it feel even hotter. Tuesday appears to be the peak of the heat wave, with some spots potentially experiencing heat index values above 105 degrees. These conditions could lead to heat-related illnesses if proper precautions aren't taken. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities during peak heating hours, check on vulnerable neighbors, and ensure pets have access to water and shade. Later in the week, the upper-level ridge will begin to weaken, allowing for slightly cooler - though still hot - temperatures in the 90s. As moisture returns to the region, so will the chance for scattered thunderstorms by late next week, offering a potential pattern change as July gets underway. Stay with WJZ for continuous updates on the severe weather potential Thursday and the intensifying heat wave into next week.

Heat advisory issued for Denver area and other parts of Colorado as record breaking heat dome approaches
Several days of record-breaking heat are expected in Denver, and the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory that will go into effect on Friday. The advisory extends into Saturday, and it's for the Denver metro area as well as parts of Colorado's Front Range to the north and south and for much of eastern Colorado as well. Temperatures will be in the range of 100 to 103 degrees as a dome of unseasonably warm heat covers most of the western United States. Those highs will be by far the hottest temperatures of the year so far. Because of the dangerous heat, both Friday and Saturday will be First Alert Weather Days. There's also an air quality alert in place for all of Colorado's Front Range. The heat will elevate ozone levels around Denver and the urban corridor of the Front Range making the air unhealthy for sensitive individuals with breathing issues. Currently that alert is set to last through Thursday at 4 p.m. but it may be extended beyond that period for the duration of the heat wave. File photo of Denver in 2020 Getty Images/iStockphoto The heat wave first oozes into the central Rocky Mountain region on Thursday. Expect temperatures in the upper 90s. Thursday's record is 98 degrees, and the projected high for Denver Thursday is 97. With wind coming into the state out of the southwest there will also be a red flag warning on Thursday in far western Colorado. The heat records in Denver for both Friday and Saturday are 99. Denver's high on Friday is projected to be 101 and the high temperature on Saturday is projected to be 100. Each day, the hottest temperatures will be between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. It's advised to stay hydrated if you have to be outdoors during this time, and to find shade. Otherwise, finding a cool place to stay indoors is recommended.
