Low shower, storm chance Friday evening to start holiday weekend in Maryland

A few showers and thunderstorms are possible Friday evening into Saturday.

Prepare for a beautiful Labor Day weekend with a little taste of fall.

Cold front brings some showers to end the work week

As a cold front moves through the state on Friday, we still have the risk for a few showers and maybe a couple of thunderstorms. The risk for severe weather north of the front is very low. Any storm could produce some heavier showers and gusty winds.

The strong cold front finally crosses the entire state of Maryland by late Friday night, allowing more comfortable air to arrive from the north and northwest.  Temperatures cool into the 60s to low 70s by Saturday morning.

Waking up on Saturday morning comes with plenty of cloud cover. If the cold front is farther south, we may start the day completely dry. There is a risk for a few showers on Saturday but don't expect a washout of a day.

Lovely for much of Labor Day weekend

Once the low risk for showers on Saturday moves out, glorious weather moves in. Humidity drops through the day Saturday so the evening is much more comfortable. We may see some sunshine breaking through before the day is done Saturday.

Highs to start the holiday weekend max out in the upper 70s to low 80s.

The lower humidity, combined with clouds giving way to sunshine, means more comfortable conditions for the remainder of the weekend with highs ranging from the upper 70s to lower 80s. Temperatures will slowly warm back up late next week to near 90 on Thursday before another cold front next weekend.
