Weather turns unsettled with heavy storms across Western Maryland
The week featured sun interspersed with strong afternoon and evening thunderstorms delivering heavy rainfall. A cold front brought more storms last Thursday, causing eastward activity and varied totals from less than one tenth inch to one to two inches, with wind damage and downed lines in several counties. Cooler air followed, then pleasant days with mid 70s to 80s and cool nights, while July normals anticipate the warmest month with average highs near 90 and rain about four inches. Continuous rainfall across Western Maryland raises concerns for soil moisture and poultry stress in hot, humid spells.
