It’s time to pull out your sunglasses and slather on some sunscreen: Temperatures across Maryland will soar through the middle of this week, just as pollen counts skyrocket.

High temperatures in the Baltimore region will jump up from the high 60s to around 80 degrees on Monday, touching 90 by Wednesday, a forecast from the National Weather Service shows.

While warm stretches aren’t unusual through spring in the region, the temperatures this week will be “pushing record warmth,” according to Cody Ledbetter, a meteorologist for the weather service’s Baltimore/Washington office.

The summery week is a result of a strong ridge of high pressure building across the region, Ledbetter said. It comes after a freeze warning blanketed much of Central Maryland last week, bringing lows in the high 20s.

Fronts moving through the state this week may bring some rainfall to parts of Western Maryland Monday, Ledbetter said. But they’re lacking in moisture and will likely fizzle out as they run into the high pressure.

Gusts driven by the fronts won’t help allergy suffers, either: Pollen counts are already “sky high,” and will continue to be throughout the week, Ledbetter said.

Accuweather predicts “extreme” tree pollen Monday through Thursday and advises people with allergies avoid the outdoors.

The National Allergy Bureau reported last week that oak, pine and sycamore were the top offenders.

The shifting winds combined with dry air and a persistent rainfall deficit that’s plagued the state for the past several years will create volatile wildfire conditions next week, Ledbetter said.

The next precipitation that could wet down dry trees and brush and make them less likely to catch fire is expected Friday, according to the weather service.
