Showers on Easter Sunday followed by cool down in Maryland

Rainy weather and gusty winds are expected across Maryland on Easter. Sunday is a WJZ First Alert Weather Day as storms will move through the state with a cold front. 

Rain on Easter Sunday

Light, moderate and heavy intensity rain move from west to east from the morning into the afternoon. The heaviest of the rain should clear the area during the mid-afternoon, but in any given location, the heaviest rain will be short-lived, with light rain ahead of it and after.

Maryland will also experience gusty winds at times today. A few thunderstorms are also possible, potentially bringing even stronger winds for a few neighborhoods.

By this evening, many areas will have dried out. Clouds will stick around for a little while before clearing out. Some sunshine is possible before sunset tonight. 

Breezy winds remain overnight and into Monday and Tuesday.

Cooling before warming

Once we get through showers and any storms and the cold front moves through, we enter a cooling trend for the early part of the work week. 

Breeziness remains for both Monday and Tuesday. Monday will warm to only 60°, and Tuesday afternoon will be closer to 50° in the afternoon.

Wednesday will still be in the upper 40s to low 50s, but possibly a couple of degrees warmer than on Tuesday. The bigger warm-up comes Thursday with temperatures reaching closer to 70°. We warm into the 70s Friday and for the weekend.
