Montgomery County Extended Forecast: Summer Roars In

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD -- Does it feel like summer yet? Well, get used to it, because it's going to continue to be a warmer-than-normal May in the Montgomery County area this week. And things could get a bit stormy throughout the coming days.

Here's a quick look at what to expect:

TUESDAY: Cloudy, muggy, perhaps an isolated shower but mostly dry. Highs 80-85.

WEDNESDAY: Still cloudy, but cooler. Temperatures topping out in the high 70s, and breezy. A little bit of rainfall possible.

THURSDAY: Warmer, thunderstorms possible. May closes with a warmer and humid day, highs in the mid-80s. There could be scattered showers and thunderstorms.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny, hot. The first day of June could be the hottest day of the week, with highs in the low 90s. More scattered showers and thunderstorms possible.

WEEKEND: Warm and muggy, partly to mostly cloudy. We could get some scattered showers and thunderstorms on Saturday, and Sunday could be cloudier with more scattered showers and highs topping out at around 80 degrees.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: The remnants of subtropical storm Alberto are churning into the southeastern United States, drenching Florida and leading Gov. Rick Scott to declare a state of emergency. Those remnants could make their way to our area, bringing a potential deluge of rain to an already saturated ground.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the country, Minneapolis hit 100 degrees on Memorial Day, the earliest on record. Just a month ago, it was enduring near-record cold temperatures and one of its biggest snowstorms ever.

And in nearby Ellicott City, Md., residents are cleaning up after massive flooding left a man missing and destroyed businesses.
