Morning showers cleared out but cloud cover remained overhead. 

A dreary and cool weather pattern continues Thursday into the beginning of Friday. Rain is expected to return to Maryland later on Friday. 

Chilly and cloudy Thursday

Gray skies remain overhead through the rest of the work week. A few clouds may clear overnight Wednesday into Thursday but mostly cloudy conditions will be the rule versus the exception.

Clouds will keep temperatures on the cooler side on Thursday. Highs peak around 50°. Winds remain on the lighter, more manageable side. 

Although skies remain gloomy and gray, it'll be mainly dry on Thursday. 

More wet weather Friday

The next chance of rain arrives later on Friday. Scattered showers are possible during the afternoon and evening hours on Friday. Rain becomes more widespread Friday night, into Saturday. Rain may be heavy at times, especially south of Baltimore. The First Alert Forecast dries out Saturday afternoon.

The rest of the weekend features pleasant weather, including for the Baltimore Ravens' home game on Sunday. Temperatures peak in the mid-50s, with quite a bit of sunshine during the game.

Active weather possible around Thanksgiving 

The next big change in our weather is set to arrive right around Thanksgiving. Temperatures trend much warmer leading up to Thanksgiving as the next strong front approaches Maryland. 

Showers and a few storms will accompany the front through the state. The chance of rain starts to increase on Tuesday. Right now, it looks like the greatest chance of rain will occur on Wednesday. Much colder weather blows into Maryland behind the front. Its arrival time will determine how it feels outside on Thanksgiving. 

It's possible that Thanksgiving could become chilly throughout the day. Cold weather is even more likely on Black Friday on into the holiday weekend. This will probably end up being the coldest stretch of weather so far this season. Multiple hard freezes are possible. Afternoons may remain in the 30s.

There is still uncertainty with this developing weather pattern. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team will let you know if the weather will impact your holiday travel or celebration plans.

Have a great Wednesday,
