Plan on warmer, wetter weather across Maryland

An unsettled spring weather pattern is developing across the Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures will continue to trend warmer, with a chance of scattered showers ahead of a greater risk of storms late Wednesday and beyond.

Feeling like spring in Baltimore

Temperatures are peaking in the 60s to right at 70°, under a mix of sun and clouds this afternoon. A gusty breeze out of the south will continue through early evening. Earlier showers have sifted south. But, some additional spotty rain is possible through the commute home and early evening plans.

Increasingly warm and breezy weather will stay with us through mid-week. Wind gusts each day could surpass 25 mph each afternoon. Temperatures soar into the mid and upper 80s by Wednesday afternoon. It'll be more of a battle between chilly weather to our northeast and warm conditions closer to the Potomac River as we end the workweek.

Chances for rain this week across Maryland

Tuesday may be the "pick of the workweek". There will be a bit more sunshine, with only a spotty chance of rain across the state. 

A front approaches on Wednesday - boosting the chance of rain and storms. Spotty showers are expected on Wednesday morning. The chance of rain and storms spikes late in the afternoon, into the evening. The risk of severe weather is low, but not zero. A couple storms could become strong or severe with hail and gusty winds. 

Tricky temperature forecast across central Maryland

The front will meander in our area through the end of the workweek. The chance of rain will remain elevated. There is still some uncertainty with late-week temperatures. If the front is able to slip farther south, much cooler weather may blow into parts of our area Thursday, into Friday.
