Much warmer weather returns to Maryland later this week

Following a chilly start to the week, temperatures trend much warmer ahead of our next weather pattern change. 

Clouds increase tonight

Temperatures cool through the 30s during the evening hours, then drop back into the low and mid-20s outside of Baltimore City by sunrise.

Plan on a cloudy and seasonably cold start to Monday. Under a mostly cloudy sky, Baltimore City will be in the upper 20s at 7 a.m. Temperatures warm back into he upper 30s and lower 40s by mid-afternoon. Monday will be a cloudier day. Despite the gloom, it'll remain mostly dry across the state.

Temperatures start to trend warmer on Tuesday, with afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. Much warmer weather is on the way for much of the United States later in the week. 

Much milder weather arrives late week

Under a mix of sun and clouds, it'll trend much warmer heading into the middle of the workweek. 

Temperatures are forecast to peak in the 50s on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. The temperature could warm past 60° heading into the weekend. While warmer, the forecast will include more clouds.

Along with the clouds, there is an increasing chance of needed rainfall. Spotty rain is possible late Wednesday, into Thursday. A greater chance of wet weather will occur on Friday and Saturday. This period of wet weather will not break the drought. But, at this point, we'll take whatever moisture we can get. 

Colder, stormier weather possible in Maryland 

Following the period of warmer than average weather, a strong cold front is expected to blow through Maryland next Sunday or Monday. Following the front, much colder weather will move back into our Maryland.

A colder, stormier period of weather may develop heading into the week of the 12th. 

Have a great evening,
