Soaking rain expected across Maryland by midweek

Clouds will slowly thicken over Maryland this evening as high pressure to our north keeps us cool and quiet. We'll stay dry here in Maryland tonight, although a few sprinkles could sneak into far southern Maryland late. Around the city, skies may even thin at times, allowing lows to dip into the mid-30s north of town, while most of the metro stays in the low-40s.

MARYLAND TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY
Tuesday turns cloudier and cooler across central Maryland with a gusty northeast breeze. Highs may struggle to reach 60° in Baltimore. Light rain showers may try to sneak in late Tuesday or early Wednesday especially for southern areas, but the better chance of a steady soaking arrives Wednesday into Wednesday night. Most forecast models suggest 1 to 2 inches of rain across Maryland with isolated 3-inch totals possible — enough for ponding in some low spots. Wednesday's highs stay in the 50s with a raw wind adding to the chill.

MARYLAND THURSDAY
The steady rain exits by late Thursday morning, leaving us with just a slight chance of a passing shower Thursday afternoon. Highs remain in the low to mid-50s with a continued breeze, but most of the day becomes more manageable and even a bit brighter west of Baltimore later on.

🎃 HALLOWEEN FORECAST ACROSS THE BALTIMORE AREA
Halloween looks mostly dry across the city and suburbs but chilly and breezy — perfect for spooky vibes, not so much for thin costumes. Highs during the day only reach the low to mid-50s with northwest gusts pushing 25–35 mph. After sunset, when trick-or-treating ramps up, temps slide into the upper 40s to near 50° with a lighter breeze. Anyone out late for parties or bar crawls will feel temps dip to the low-to-mid 40s. Costumes with layers underneath will be key.

MARYLAND WEEKEND
Saturday looks calmer and brighter, with highs in the low-to-mid 50s and continued cool air settling over all of Maryland. By Sunday, clouds increase again and a chance for showers returns later in the afternoon or evening, with temps still stuck in the 50s for most neighborhoods around Baltimore.

MARYLAND EARLY NEXT WEEK
A quick-moving system may bring another round of showers Monday — not an all-day event, but enough to dampen the afternoon or evening. Highs once again hover near the mid-50s. Behind it, Tuesday dries out with more sunshine returning and highs nudging back toward the upper-50s to near 60° — a more typical start to November in Maryland.
