Unseasonably cool, wet weather is in Maryland's Memorial Day Weekend forecast

The wet and gloomy weather continues through the final day of the workweek in Maryland. Expect on and off rain throughout the day Friday. Temperatures will remain in the 50s in many areas. You'll want a jacket.

While rain won't be particularly heavy, considering that rain will be nearly constant for many hours, you may notice more runoff and ponding of water as we get into Friday evening and night.

Rain will impact outdoor plans, especially for the first half of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. 

Saturday is shaping up to be cool and wet. Saturday will be the wettest day of the holiday weekend with periods of steady rain. A few brief downpours are also possible. An additional 2 to 3 inches of rain may fall between this evening and Sunday morning. This would be very beneficial, considering current severe drought conditions.

Rain will become more showery Sunday into Memorial Day. There will be a bit more dry time for plans outside. Temperatures won't be quite as chilly as well; afternoons rebound into the upper 60s and lower 70s.
