Roller coaster temperatures are in Maryland's forecast

Many areas across central, northern, and eastern Maryland received between 2 and 4 inches of rainfall this past weekend. The Baltimore metro will enjoy a change to much nicer weather through the middle of this week. 

Under a few evening clouds, temperatures are quickly cooling back into the 60s. Plan on temperatures in the low to mid-50s in many areas by sunrise on Tuesday morning. 

Pleasant stretch of weather across Maryland through Thursday

Tuesday and Wednesday will be the warmest days of the upcoming workweek. Tuesday will feature the most sunshine, with afternoon temperatures in the lower 80s. Wednesday will be the warmest day, with high temperatures soaring into the mid-80s. An isolated shower or thunderstorm will move through Maryland later in the day on Wednesday.

Thursday won't be as warm, with a continued chance of spotty rain. 

Gusty showers Friday, chilly blast of fall air this weekend 

A powerful cold front will cross central and eastern Maryland on Friday.

Friday afternoon includes a surge of gusty winds, briefly warmer temperatures and a line of a showers. Behind the cold front Friday evening, temperatures will quickly fall into the 40s, with gusty winds. 

Get ready for a true fall chill. Saturday will be windy and chilly, with afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. Winds relax Saturday night, if skies remain clear and winds lighten enough, our first widespread frost of the season is possible.

Sunday doesn't look as windy with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 50s.

It's not out of the question that the first flakes of the season fall across the mountains of western Maryland Saturday. Snow accumulations are not expected.
