Temperatures are warming up across Maryland from south, to north, as the wind direction changes. Don't be surprised if you notice the warmer breeze through the evening. Scattered rain moves through tonight, followed by more cold and a gustier breeze. 

Scattered rain moves through after sunset

Temperatures are forecast to approach 60° by mid-evening and will warm even more by midnight in a few spots. It'll turn breezier after sunset, as well.

The chance of showers starts to increase after 8 p.m. and peaks between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Rumbles of thunder and brief heavy rain may accompany a few showers. Though, showers are moving quickly. Overall rain accumulations will be low; generally less than a quarter of an inch. Some neighborhoods will miss out on rain completely. 

Winds increase as temperatures start to fall early Sunday morning. Most of the rain will be gone by sunrise. A few light rain showers could linger through 7 a.m. on the eastern shore. 

Colder, windier weather returns to Maryland on Sunday

Sunshine returns on Sunday. But, that doesn't mean warmer weather. 

A Wind Advisory is in effect for Cecil, Harford, Baltimore, Carroll and Frederick Counties on Sunday.

Wind gusts between 35 and 45 mph will blow through Maryland on Sunday afternoon. Gusts between 40 and 50 mph are expected in the mountains and north of I-70. With gusty winds, low humidity and ongoing drought conditions - the risk of wildfires will be greater on Sunday. Do not burn debris outdoors. Fires could spread quickly. Use extra caution if you're grilling. 

Sunday's "high" temperatures will occur abnormally early in the day. In fact, it could occur before sunrise. Temperatures are forecast to cool into the upper 40s and lower 50s by late afternoon. A gusty breeze will make it feel even chillier. Temperatures tumble Sunday evening, with a brisk wind. If you're having a Ravens watch party outdoors... bundle up.  

Monday will be bright, breezy and cold. 

Chilly, gloomy weather in Baltimore early in the week

The next chance of damp weather arrives on Tuesday. Similar to Saturday's showers, it won't be a drought-busting rainfall. The chance of wet weather is greatest closer to the Potomac River Tuesday afternoon and evening. If moisture can make it far enough north, a few sleet pellets and snow flurries could mix in. There won't be any accumulation, even if that does happen. 

A greater chance of steady rain arrives late in the workweek as warmer weather moves in.

Have a great evening,

Cutter
