Pleasant fall weather gives to rain late in the weekend

Brilliant fall weather is going to stick around for another several days, ahead of widespread soaking rain brought by the remnants of Isaias late in the weekend. Sunday is a Possible First Alert Weather Day.

Marathon stretch of nice fall weather to continue across Maryland  

The workweek continues to gradually warm, with abundant sunshine on Thursday. Another push of cooler air arrives late Thursday, into Friday behind a dry cold front.

We finish off the workweek with a fantastic Friday. Plan on sunshine and near-normal afternoon temperatures in the mid-70s. 

Isaias to bring some impacts to Maryland

Tropical Storm Isaias formed early Wednesday morning in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is expected to quickly strengthen into a hurricane by early Thursday morning and approach major hurricane strength by Friday morning. 

Isaias will likely make landfall sometime early Saturday morning as a weakening, but formidable hurricane. The most likely landfall location will be somewhere between the Mississippi coastline to the western Florida panhandle. 

Once onshore, the storm will weaken, but also expand in size as it moves due north and its forward motion accelerates. Saturday is the WJZ First Alert Weather Team pick of the weekend. Highs will top out in the lower 70s, with a dry forecast. Clouds increase throughout the day Saturday. 

The remnants of Isaias will impact our area late Saturday night and continuing through Sunday; a possible First Alert Weather Day. While severe weather and direct tropical impacts are not expected in Maryland, moderate to heavy rainfall will impact Sunday plans. Stay with the WJZ First Alert Weather Team for future updates on the timeline, track, and possible impacts from this storm. 

Gradually improving weather is expected on Monday.
