Crisp, comfortable and bright fall weather this week across Maryland
The state of Maryland recorded its chilliest morning since mid-May on Tuesday. BWI recorded a low temperature of 43°. A few spots dipped into the upper 30s. Beautiful fall weather continues for several more days ahead of a chance of widespread, heavy rain this weekend.
Another cool morning is on the way for Wednesday, with many neighborhoods waking up in the 40s once again.
Stretch of beautiful fall weather across Maryland

Wet weather, heavy rain possible by Sunday in Baltimore
It doesn't look like we'll snap out of our recent trend of dreary weekends in Baltimore. However, we're tracking wet weather for only one half of the weekend.
Saturday is the WJZ First Alert Weather Team pick of the weekend, with sunshine and comfy temperatures. It'll be great for any fall outdoor activities. Sunshine will give way to some late-day high clouds with a mid-afternoon temperature in the low 70s.
Gulf moisture will be drawn out of the south and into our region as the weekend comes to a close. This is partially tied to a tropical depression in the Gulf. This storm will strengthen in the coming days as it moves about the Gulf, eventually gaining the name Isaias before week's end. As whatever may be left of the storm moves northward over land, rain potential here in Maryland increases.
Heavy rain cannot be ruled out Sunday into Monday. Details on this storm are still very uncertain given that it's a few days out. Check back throughout the week as details on the timing, intensity and duration of the rain become more clear.
