While the weather has been nice and comfortable over the past few days, an earthquake shook things up in Baltimore on Friday afternoon. The epicenter of the 2.6-magnitude earthquake was about half a mile south of Woodlawn, Maryland, with an emphasis at a mile and a half depth.
While there is a chance of showers and a possible storm in the middle of next week, shower activity will be few and far between. Many will be left high and dry, with a heat wave affecting the entire area. While a heat warning is highly unlikely, the threat remains for heat-related illnesses. Stay calm and drink plenty of water. While heat is also an effect next week, potential air quality alerts may also appear. stay tuned
