Montgomery County Work Week Weather: Dog Days Of Summer Set In

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Fall may be somewhat close in Montgomery County -- but this week's weather will remind you that we are still solidly in the summer months.

The week will start off stormy before giving way to more 90+ degree days in our area.

It starts Monday with a muggy morning leading to afternoon and evening showers and storms. Highs will top out in the high 80s, and lows could drop into the 60s.

Tuesday should be partly sunny with more chances of showers and storms. Highs will be in the 80s once again.

By Wednesday, things will dry out, and highs will start moving upward. Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high in the low 90s. And by Friday, a chance of showers returns.
