Cooler weather is blowing into Maryland, showers possible
It's been a stunning Thursday across Maryland, including the Baltimore metro. Additional chances of rain and cool weather are in the weekend forecast.
Showers move into Baltimore on Friday evening
It'll be chilly overnight across the state. Temperatures quickly cool into the 50s after sunset and will settle back into the low to mid-40s in many spots by sunrise on Friday.
The final day of the workweek begins with a mix of sun and clouds, along with chilly temperatures. Temperatures warm into the low and mid-60s by late afternoon. A front will approach the state Friday afternoon. Scattered rain showers will approach the WJZ Viewing Area after 3 p.m. Hit-or-miss light rain will continue through early evening. While it won't have a big impact on plans, bringing along the umbrella isn't a bad idea if you're headed outside.
Temperatures cool into the 50s through the evening hours. This first round of scattered showers will exit Maryland before sunrise on Saturday.
Weekend is cool, rain chance in parts of Maryland
Clouds will linger Saturday across the bulk of the area. Expect a mostly cloudy sky, with a few peeks of sunshine on Saturday. A passing coastal low will bring showers to the coast and parts of the eastern shore during the afternoon and evening hours on Saturday. Any subtle shift in the track of this low could bring greater chances of rain into the Baltimore area.
Temperatures range from the mid-50s to lower 60s on Saturday afternoon; coolest east.
Sunday features brighter weather. It will be breezier, too. Winds will gust 15 to 20 mph during the daylight hours. We'll warm into the low to mid-60s on Saturday afternoon. Sunday is the pick day of the weekend!
Warmer weather early next week in the Baltimore area
More seasonably warm spring air will return to Maryland early next week. Right now, Monday and Tuesday appear mostly dry, with just a chance of spotty light rain northwest of I-95. Temperatures peak in the mid to upper 70s both afternoons.
The cold front will sink south into our area Tuesday evening, into Wednesday. This brings our next chance of more widespread showers and thunderstorms. All of this rain would be much needed as severe drought continues across most of central and eastern Maryland.
