The storm system that brought rough weather to Maryland will continue to have an impact on our forecast as we close out the workweek. 

High tides, gusty winds and chillier weather are expected Friday.

Thursday morning's soaking rains  put a dent in the ongoing drought. More than an inch of rain fell across much of central Maryland. A few neighborhoods recorded nearly 3 inches of rain.

A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect in Anne Arundel County through early Friday morning. 

Tides will gradually lower heading into the weekend. 

Gusty winds on Halloween

Friday morning will be mostly sunny and chilly. Temperatures will average in the mid to upper 40s at 7 a.m. Winds will already be gusting up to around 30 MPH during the morning commute hours. It'll feel chillier when the wind blows.

Make sure your Halloween decor is secured. 

Sunshine sends temperatures into the upper 50s and lower 60s Friday afternoon. Winds will gust up to 40 MPH at times. It'll be windiest between mid-morning and mid-afternoon. A Wind Advisory goes into effect at 10 a.m. for portions of the state; including Carroll and Frederick Counties. The advisory expires at 5 p.m. 

Temperatures cool back into the 50s around sunset as winds relax. It'll be chilly, but calmer through trick-or-treat time. Many neighborhoods will be in the upper 40s by 10 p.m. 

Pleasant fall weather continues through the weekend. There will be more clouds around Sunday, with a slight chance of spotty light rain.
