Maryland Weather: Lingering rain keeps things damp overnight before clearing out

As we head into Friday, we'll start the day with clouds, but sunshine should build in by the afternoon.
Highs will reach the mid and upper 40s.
This weekend will see sun and clouds with cooler temps. Highs will reach the 40s with lows in the 20s.
Next week, we will see a continuation of nice weather through mid-week with sunny skies.
