Sunny Weather Gives Way To MD Storms This Week: What To Expect

The second week of September starts with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 80s before things take a turn for the worse.

Maryland residents can expect mostly sunny conditions through the majority of the week; however, that changes by Thursday afternoon.

The latest forecast from the National Weather Service indicates a fresh round of showers and thunderstorms is likely to affect afternoon commuters on Thursday.

Forecasters say the biggest chance for storms could develop after 5 p.m., with heavy rain, thunder, and possible wind gusts impacting Marylanders through at least 2 a.m. Friday.

Now, while the sunshine and 80-degree weather do return Friday, storm threats stick around through the weekend.

The latest round of storms comes just days after cleanup crews and electric utilities worked around the clock to restore power to tens of thousands of Marylanders.

Some of the areas hit hard by power outages in Maryland included Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties.
