Rainy to end the workweek, ahead of a chance of wintry weather in Maryland on Sunday

A gloomy and active weather pattern carries us through the rest of the workweek and into the weekend. A First Alert Weather Day may be added to Sunday if an impactful winter storm becomes more likely. 

Rounds of wet weather will soak Maryland

It's a chilly and gloomy start to Thursday morning with areas of dense fog possible. Temperatures are in the 30s and lower 40s. Dense fog and low visibility are possible during the Thursday morning commute, similar to the past few mornings. A few rain showers are also possible Wednesday night. 

A more widespread round of rain will move in Thursday afternoon. These showers will be pushing up from the southwest and moving northeast. Wet weather will begin around D.C. first, before working its way into central, then northern and northeastern Maryland during the evening. 

A steadier rain is expected Thursday night, into Friday morning. Right now, the heaviest of the rain may exit just before the morning commute Friday. The First Alert Weather Team will keep an eye on it, just in case the timeline changes. Thursday will remain on the cool and gloomy side.

Friday afternoon should dry out with high temperatures around 50°.

A coastal storm could impact Maryland this weekend

Saturday appears to be the pick day of the weekend, ahead of what could be a wintry Sunday. 

Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies with dry weather through Saturday evening. Afternoon temperatures peak in the upper 40s and lower 50s on Saturday.

While there is still quite a bit of uncertainty, a winter storm could impact Maryland on Sunday.

Another storm system will approach Maryland late in the weekend, just as colder air blows in. Rain changing to a wintry mix or snow is possible in our region Sunday into Sunday night.  Considering this is several days away, there is still quite a bit of forecast uncertainty. Winter weather is not yet certain across Baltimore. Either way, it'll feel much more wintry into early next week as colder air plunges into the area.
