Steady rain will soak Maryland as Memorial Day weekend gets underway

Memorial Day Weekend has begun on a soggy note, with rain building into the state. Steady rain continues through much of tonight and Saturday; a First Alert Weather Day.

Rain becomes steady across Baltimore Friday afternoon

Steady rain will continue through the evening as temperatures settle back into the low to mid-50s across the Baltimore metro and surrounding areas. It'll be a very rainy night across our region. 

Grab a jacket and umbrella if plans have you outside. 

Steady rain, breezy winds and chilly across Maryland on Saturday

Saturday is shaping up to be a washout for plans. Because of this, the team has made Saturday a First Alert Weather Day.

Saturday will be the wettest day of the holiday weekend with periods of steady rain, heavy at times. In fact, much of our area will see rain the entire day. In addition to the rain, winds will gust 20 to 30 MPH with temperatures stuck in the 50s. Winds may gust a bit stronger along the bay front and at the beach on Saturday. An additional 2 to 3 inches of rain may fall between Friday evening and Sunday morning. 

This type of rain will put a dent in the ongoing drought.

Weather trends a bit drier for Sunday, Monday plans

Rain will become more showery Sunday into Memorial Day. There will be a bit more dry time for plans outside. Temperatures won't be quite as chilly. Plan on afternoon temperatures in the upper 60s and 70s Sunday and Monday.
