Maryland Heat Wave Braces for Record Demand | Annapolis News

Maryland’s Fourth of July weekend is turning into a scorcher—with temps soaring above average and an excessive heat warning for Saturday. Heat index could hit 110°, so stay hydrated and stay smart if you’re out celebrating. The Fourth itself will be mostly sunny with highs near 100°, and thunderstorms possible in the evening. Sunday brings relief from the peak heat, with highs in the low to mid-90s, but also a much higher chance of rain—80% by evening. This heat wave kicked off earlier in the week, marking Maryland’s first real summer blast. And with electricity demand at record levels since 2006, expect potential brownouts or local outages as everyone turns up the AC.
