Scattered Friday evening showers give way to a cooler weekend in Maryland

Clouds will increase Friday evening as the next storm system approaches our region. A few light rain showers will move through the Baltimore area Friday evening. Rain will be brief, light and scattered. 

Overall impacts to plans will be low as temperatures cool back into the 50s through the evening. 

Cool weekend across the Baltimore metro

Plan on a mostly cloudy sky on Saturday, with only peeks of sunshine. 

A passing coastal low will bring showers to the coast and parts of the eastern shore during the afternoon and evening hours on Saturday. A few sprinkles cannot be ruled out in Baltimore.

Temperatures will be in the 40s and lower 50s around sunrise on Saturday. Afternoon temperatures will range from the mid-50s to the lower 60s on Saturday; coolest east. Saturday will have a gray and gloomy appearance, but for the bulk of central Maryland, the weather will remain dry and good for outdoor plans.

Sunday features brighter weather. It will be breezier, too. Winds will gust 15 to 20 mph during the daylight hours. We'll warm into the low to mid-60s on Sunday afternoon. Sunday is the pick day of the weekend!

Warmer weather next week with chances for rain across Maryland

Warmer spring air will return to Maryland early next week. Right now, Monday and Tuesday appear mostly dry, with just a chance of spotty light rain northwest of I-95. Temperatures warm into the lower to middle 70s Monday and into the lower 80s Tuesday.

A cold front will sink south into our area Tuesday evening, into Wednesday. The front brings our next chance of widespread showers and thunderstorms. Rain is much needed as a severe drought continues across most of central and eastern Maryland. 

Showers and storms should begin to exit the area sometime on Thursday morning.
