Frede rick County braces for cooler air Sunday
Frederick County endured a blistering spell with 96 degree highs tying the May record on Friday and again on Thursday. Forecasters say a backdoor front moving south from New England could reach Frederick around sunrise Sunday, lowering temperatures by up to 15 degrees and potentially lasting several days. If the front doesn’t stall, Sunday should bring partly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 80s, with a cautious note that cooling air may not arrive if the front stalls. The stretch comes amid a drought with Frederick’s May rainfall far below average, marking a seventh straight day above 90 degrees.
