The forecast trends warmer this week across Maryland

A colder, stormier weather pattern may develop as we approach the middle of the month. 

Plan on a chilly Monday evening in Baltimore

The forecast remains dry, with a light breeze. You'll still want a winter coat for plans this evening.

Temperatures will be coldest around sunrise on Tuesday morning. Most neighborhoods will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s. Areas of frost are likely before 8 a.m. Tuesday afternoon features a bit more sunshine and afternoon temperatures peaking in the mid to upper 40s; 5-10° warmer than on Monday afternoon.

The forecast remains dry through the second day of the workweek. 

The forecast trends much warmer across Maryland

Following a noticeably more comfortable Tuesday afternoon, the warming trend continues through the middle of the workweek. Wednesday afternoon temperatures will peak in the upper 40s and lower 50s across much of our area. Clouds will increase by this time and  a spotty rain shower cannot be ruled out.

However, most will remain dry.

Temperatures trend even warmer as the weekend begins. Temperatures will peak in the upper 50s and 60s both Friday and Saturday afternoons. 

Rain holds off until late week in Baltimore, much of Maryland

Following a chance of spotty rain on Wednesday, the chance of rain gradually increases as the workweek comes to an end.

Scattered rain is expected Thursday and Friday. The greatest chance of rain will be across western Maryland and northern Virginia through Friday evening. The chance of wet weather increases and includes our entire area later Friday night, into Saturday. This is needed rainfall. But, unfortunately, it won't end the ongoing drought - by any means. 

Colder, breezier weather returns on Sunday as wet weather pushes offshore. A colder and wintry period of weather is possible the week of the 12th across the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast.

Have a great evening,
