BALTIMORE- A strong line of thunderstorms will cross the area during the overnight hours. Storms end before sunrise Sunday.

A line of strong to severe thunderstorms that has a history of producing large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes is approaching central Maryland. While many of the storms have weakened below severe limits, it's still not out of the question that a few storms could be severe during the overnight. The main threat would come in the form of heavy downpours, lightning, thunder, and possibly some hail. 

Mother's Day will be somewhat unsettled. We will see scattered showers during the morning and midday hours with a gradual drying process during the afternoon. A gusty northwest wind will dry us out later in the day. Expect highs in the lower to middle 60s. 

Monday looks like a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and highs in the middle 70s.

Enjoy the beautiful weather while it lasts Monday, more showers will be developing Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening. A round of steadier rain is likely on Wednesday. Plan on wet weather if you're going to be outside, so have a raincoat or umbrella.

We'll get another brief break on Thursday before more showers return to the area Friday and Saturday. Temperatures will be unseasonably cool in the 60s & lower 70s.
