Chances of rain, much cooler weather this weekend in Maryland

A period of wild fall weather is in the First Alert Forecast. Following unseasonable warmth, chances of rain and much cooler temperatures are on the way. The chilliest nights so far this fall will settle into Maryland early next week. 

Temperatures settle back into the 50s and lower 60s early this morning.

Our Saturday features a much cooler and cloudier afternoon. Temperatures are forecast to stay in the 60s and lower 70s under a mostly cloudy sky. However, the forecast dries out a bit after some morning showers. The afternoon looks mostly dry north of the Bay Bridge. Scattered rain will continue across southern Maryland on over to the beaches. 

Tracking rain for Sunday's Raven's game in Baltimore

Sunday is shaping up to be the wetter-half of the weekend. 

While rain will be steadiest south of Baltimore, damp weather remains a good bet during the Ravens game against the Titans at M & T Bank Stadium. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. A chance of rain continues throughout the game, with showers not tapering off until later Sunday evening. Temperatures will remain in the upper 50s and lower 60s through the day. 

Sunshine returns early in the workweek as much cooler air blows into Maryland. Afternoon temperatures will remain in the 60s despite the sun. Overnight temperatures will plummet into the 30s and 40s on Monday and Tuesday.
