Warmer temperatures, breezy midweek in Maryland
Wednesday morning will start cold with early morning temperatures starting in the lower to middle. With a mixture of clouds and sunshine on Wednesday, along with a westerly wind, temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 50s during the afternoon.
While milder afternoons are ahead of us for the rest of the week, starting Wednesday, the morning hours will still have a chilly to cool feel. Early morning temperatures will start off in the lower to middle 30s, so you'll still need a hefty fall jacket for the first few hours of the day, Thursday and Friday.
Thursday and Friday afternoon will feature a mixture of sunshine and clouds with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
Weekend weather starts sunny, turns showery
Canadian high pressure will have a grip on our weather Saturday, providing us a crisp, cool feel along with plenty of sunshine. High temperatures will be a bit cooler in the mid-50s. Winds will be more gentle on Saturday than Sunday. Expect a breeze out of the west-southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
A warm front will push north through the area Saturday night into Sunday. This will bring additional clouds and the possibility of a few scattered showers. This storm doesn't look large or disruptive for us, but you may need an umbrella from time to time Saturday night into the first half of Sunday.
Sunday afternoon winds ramp up out of the west-northwest at 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Expect variable clouds with the windier weather, along with warmer afternoon temperatures. Highs on Sunday afternoon will top out in the middle to upper 60s.
There are signs of cooler to potentially chilly weather returning to Maryland sometime next week, but signals are mixed on this outcome. Stay with the WJZ First Alert Weather Team as we gain clarity on this part of the extended forecast.
