More wet weather expected this week across Maryland
Clouds will increase with more showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and evening Wednesday. It's not an all-day washout, but keep rain gear handy.
Temperatures ease back to the upper 70s to near 80. The severe threat for Wednesday looks lower than Tuesday, but any storm can drop heavy rain and produce gusty winds.
Alert Day possible Thursday
The front settles in and waves of low pressure ride along it. Expect scattered to numerous storms, especially in the afternoon and evening Thursday.
Most storms will be more about heavy rain and occasional gusts than widespread severe weather, but a stronger cell or two can't be ruled out. We'll reassess early Thursday, but another Alert Day is possible given the repeated rounds of storms.
Friday into the weekend
Leftover showers may linger Friday, mainly east of I-95, then high pressure builds in. The weekend trends drier and more comfortable, with highs mainly in the mid-70s to lower 80s and lower humidity.
Heads-up & safety:
- If you have after-school activities, commuter plans, or evening practices, have an indoor backup and a way to receive weather alerts.
- Never drive through water-covered roads; poor drainage spots could see quick ponding during the heaviest downpours.
We'll keep you posted on timing tweaks and whether Thursday becomes an ALERT DAY for the Baltimore area.
