Glorious Weather in Silver Spring and Burtonsville: Day Two
Don't get complacent. Hot weather is forecast for the weekend.
In case you haven't noticed, we're enjoying beautiful late June temperatures -- a time when it can traditionally be horrendously hot and humid.
Wouldn't it be nice if this were to continue through July 4? At this point, it's hard to see a week out, but the weekend is predicted to be hot, with a chance of rain Friday and slightly less sizzling temperatures as the holiday approaches.
One thing to be aware of with the low humidity--slightly more chance of spreading fire.
