Rounds of wet weather, cooler temperatures across Maryland this week

A slow-moving storm system will bring multiple rounds of rain to Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic through the week. Another significant dent in the drought is possible before wet weather comes to an end. 

Scattered showers continue to pop-up across western Maryland and southern Pennsylvania - pushing in the general direction of Baltimore. While not a washout, the chance of rain continues through the evening across much of our area. 

Temperatures bottom-out in the mid to upper 60s overnight, with spotty showers and patchy fog.  

Needed rain, much cooler this week in Maryland

A damp, gloomy and much cooler workweek is in the forecast. 

Monday begins with lots of clouds and temperatures in the mid-60s across the immediate Baltimore metro. Spotty rain is possible through the morning commute. The chance of wet weather peaks between late morning and late afternoon on Monday. Once again, the day won't be a total washout. But, rain will be around off-and-on through the day.

Temperatures remain in the 70s on Monday afternoon.

The wettest weather is expected Monday night through Wednesday morning across much of the state. Morning temperatures will bottom-out in the 50s while afternoons stay in the low to mid-60s across much of the area on Tuesday and Wednesday. It'll will be breezy, too. 

Rain could dent the ongoing drought across Maryland

Many will record more than .50" of rain by Wednesday evening, while some will see more than 2". The heaviest rain will fall south and southwest of greater Baltimore. This would further ease ongoing abnormally dry and moderate drought conditions across our region.

Pleasant, drier weather returns heading into next weekend.
