Are you ready for some HOT weather? Doesn't really matter. You're going to get it anyway. What has been, until now, a relatively cool June with plenty of rain is about to kick into the 90s in Baltimore. And it's not going to go away quickly.

Forecasters out at Sterling are calling for a high of 92 degrees downtown on Thursday, and readings seem likely to stick near 90 right through the weekend. The forecast highs for the suburbs are only slightly lower. And with the heat comes increasing humidity. Our Chesapeake Summer begins.

This will be the first stretch of 90-degree weather in Baltimore since that surprise heat wave in April that posted three straight afternoons in the 90s (April 25-27). And that came before we had even seen highs in the 80s! Set that freaky weather aside and this will be the first true summer weather in the 90s since last Sept. 14.

The heat comes to us as the low-pressure system that's been hanging off the Atlantic coast for days, dragging relatively cool air and showers down from the north, begins to move away. That's allowing the high that's been COOKING the South and the Midwest to move our way. Here's AccuWeather.com's take on it all.
