Mother's Day weekend weather includes both rain and sun in Maryland
Maryland will get multiple chances for much-needed rainfall within the next week. It comes as much of the state remains under severe drought conditions.
Temperatures will quickly drop into the 50s through the evening. A chilly breeze continues overnight.
Plan on a mostly clear sky overnight, with cooler temperatures. We'll cool back into the mid and upper 40s around sunrise on Friday. It'll be coolest northwest of Baltimore and away from the bay.
Fantastic Friday weather across Maryland
We're looking at a beautiful weather day on Friday! The forecast includes a partly cloudy sky and a refreshing breeze. It may get a little gusty, with occasional gusts up to 30 mph.
Despite a chilly start to Friday morning, with temperatures in the 40s, high temperatures will rebound into the upper 60s Friday afternoon. A couple of sprinkles and isolated gusty showers are possible near and north of the Pennsylvania state line during the afternoon hours.
Spotty rain won't have much of an impact on plans.
Showers and sunshine for Mother's Day Weekend
Mother's Day Weekend, overall, is looking good.
Saturday will be the more unsettled weather day. We'll see lots of clouds and a few rounds of showers; wettest in the morning. Temperatures will top-out in the lower 70s on Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening and night will be mostly dry for plans.
Mother's Day looks to be the pick of the weekend. Afternoon temperatures climb into upper 70s to around 80°, under a partly cloudy sky. The weather during the daylight hours of Sunday looks dry. The chance of rain starts to increase around sunset on Sunday as our next storm system approaches. If this system arrives any faster, showers will move in as early as Mother's Day afternoon. Right now, trends favor the chance of rain not increasing until the dinner hour and beyond.
Either way, another batch of rain will move through Maryland on Sunday night. Rainfall will be incredibly beneficial to our severe drought situation. The rain will gradually taper off midday Monday, followed by clearing and cooler weather Monday evening into Tuesday.
