Hot today, storms near Pa. line

SUN PHOTO/Karl Merton Ferron/2004Temperatures at the airport will rise into the upper 80s across the region today as we remain south of a stalled cold front. But communities along the Pennsylvania line and closer to the front may see some afternoon thunderstorms popping up with a risk of large hail, forecasters say.

The best chance for showers and storms in the Baltimore area will come late on Wednesday, as that stalled front begins to move south. Hail and strong winds are possible with those storms.

With the front past us by Thursday, our daytime highs will be 20 degrees lower than today's, with a forecast high of only 68 degrees on Thursday. Sunshine returns for Friday and Saturday, with highs only in the low 70s.

A coastal low is expected to develop along the Carolina coast on Thursday, and that could bring rain and cooler weather to the beaches for the weekend. The rest of us will remain cool and dry, forecasters say.
