More rain and storms will move through Maryland on Monday

After a weekend of strong storms that caused damage in Maryland, more severe weather is expected Monday to start the week. 

A Ground Stop was in place for Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall Airport until 12:30 a.m. Strong winds blew down trees and power lines in parts of the Baltimore metro, in addition to Caroline County early Sunday evening. The ground stop has since been lifted.

The forecast will be mostly dry during the Monday morning commute. However, there could still be a few lingering high water spots and downed trees. Use extra caution driving to work, especially before sunrise. 

Temperatures will be in the low to mid-70s around sunrise on Monday.

More storms will impact Maryland as the workweek begins

Monday is another First Alert Weather Day, due to impacts from more heavy rain and severe storms. 

The day begins quietly with just spotty sprinkles and patchy fog, followed by increasing storms heading into the lunch-hour. The risk of flooding is a bit greater on Monday afternoon as storms will be slower moving and have tropical levels of moisture to work with. Scattered rain and storms may also get an earlier start on Monday, compared to Sunday. 

Storms will be most numerous between late morning and early evening. A couple storms could produce gusty winds, in addition to heavy rain and lots of lightning. 

Temperatures will warm into the mid and upper 80s on Monday, before storms become widespread.  

Heating back up later in the workweek

Temperatures will remain in the 80s during the afternoons through mid-week as rain chances drop. 

We'll warm back up as the workweek comes to a close. Plan on 90s on Thursday afternoon as storms return. Right now, the wettest day of the workweek appears to be Friday, followed by a drier trend in the forecast heading into the weekend.
