Temperatures this weekend are likely to be a couple degrees hotter than they’ve been the last couple degrees, pushing 100° on Saturday and Sunday. The Heat Index will be over 100° on both days. Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services suggest to take frequent breaks in cool/shaded areas if you have to be outside.

Temperatures on Mondays are also likely to reach the mid 90s  with a chance of thunderstorms before the heat finally relents on Tuesday, barely reaching 80° Before getting into the upper 80s the rest of the week. Safety Tips by the National Weather Service can be seen below.


Hot and humid conditions are expected today, according to the National Weather Service. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 90s today and the Heat Index will be around 100 degrees. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible the closer you get to Washington, D.C. this afternoon, but the biggest concern for strong to severe storm with damaging winds remains south of DC.

Friday is expected to be similar to today, with temperatures again reaching the mid 90s and feeling like its 100 degrees. The weekend will bring even hotter temps, with actual highs in the upper 90s and the heat index nearing 105 degrees. The state of Maryland sent out the following message yesterday:


There is a Flood Watch in effect this afternoon, Wednesday, June 22, for Northwest MoCo that will begin at 3pm through this evening. Today will start with plenty of us with temperatures reaching the upper 80s and feeling like the mid to upper 90s. Thunderstorms are expected to roll in during the late afternoon hours. Per the National Weather Service:


Montgomery County and some surrounding areas, primarily to the south and east, are at a ‘slight risk’ for severe weather throughout the day today (Tuesday, June 14th), according to the National Weather Service.

“There will be a few opportunities for showers and thunderstorms through this morning and early afternoon. The strongest storms could contain damaging wind gusts, hail, heavy rain, and frequent lightning.” The chance of rain and thunderstorms decreases as we move into the later afternoon and high temperatures reach the low 80s.


A mostly sunny day is expected today with temperatures reaching approximately 80° and feeling like it’s in the mid to upper 80s. There is also virtually no chance of rain today, which gives us a great start to the week.

The rest of the week will be similar in regards to temperature (highs in the low 80s), but rain is possible on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Tuesday could become breezy in the afternoon with a 40% chance of a thunderstorm in spots. Wednesday gives us the greatest shot at rain with a 55% chance at thunderstorms in the afternoon. Thursday gives us a 40% chance at some morning showers.


A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect for our area until 9:00pm. Temperatures are currently in the upper 80s and feel like they’re in the upper 90s. Clouds have already rolled in for most of the county and thunderstorms appear to be on their way.

Thunderstorms are possible for the rest of the day, with severe thunderstorms also possible– bringing hail and damaging winds. Things should clear up overnight and into tomorrow morning as Friday is expected to mostly sunny with temperatures reaching around 80°.


Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon (Thursday, June 2nd) with the main threat being the potential for damaging wind gusts. Multiple rounds of storms are expected starting approximately 2pm, with the greatest risk this afternoon/evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80s and feel like 95° early this afternoon until the thunderstorms roll into town. The risk of thunderstorms will remain until the late evening.


According to the National Weather Service, our area should expect another day of hot and humid conditions with high temperatures in the 90s for most. Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon along and east of I-95.

Yesterday was the hottest day of 2022 and today is expected to be very similar. Temperatures reached approximately 95° for many, including 96° at DCA,  and most will be very close to it again today.


Coming off of a very warm Memorial Day, temperatures are expected to reach the mid 90s today (Tuesday, 5/31) and tomorrow (Wednesday, 6/1). Today is expected to get to about 93° and tomorrow to 94° with humidity expected to accompany the high temps, making both days feel around 100°.

Thursday will cool down a bit, with expected highs just over 80° And some thunderstorms coming out way before a cooler Friday with high temperatures in the upper 70s. As of now the weekend is looking nice with sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 70s.


Earlier today we reported on damage at a few Olney homes due to the storms that included Tornado Warnings that came through Friday afternoon. It has been confirmed that an EF-0 tornado touched down in various parts of Olney. Additional information can be seen below, courtesy of the National Weather Service via Iowa State University.

“An EF-0 tornado with winds estimated at 80 MPH briefly touched down in Montgomery County, MD, in the town of Olney on the afternoon of Friday, May 27, 2022.


Friday’s Thunderstorms, which also brought Tornado Warninga for several parts of the county, caused damages to a handful of homes on Tanterra Way in Olney when all was said and done on Friday afternoon, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services PIO Pete Piringer.
