Following the steambath of this week, the weather around Washington, D.C., and Baltimore will not be in a hurry to cool down.
Steamy and Stormy, but a Change Arrives Friday
The reduction in humidity will come after a cold front caused thunderstorms to cross the area Thursday afternoon.

Despite the drop in humidity, high temperatures will still flirt with the 90-degree Fahrenheit mark Friday through the middle of next week and will make for an extended period of great beach weather.
MLB fans heading to Camden Yards for the series between the Orioles and Tigers should not have to worry about rain starting Friday. Likewise for people heading to the Train and Toy Show at the Maryland State Fairgrounds.

Should the temperature hit 90 each day into next week, this would be the longest heat wave of the summer.
Three days in a row with temperatures reaching 90 F or higher define an official heat wave.
Many locations around the region experienced the first official heat wave of the summer during the middle of June.
