More wet weather tonight, storms in Maryland on Wednesday

A warm, muggy and occasionally stormy weather pattern will hang on for another day across Maryland, before cooler and drier weather takes-over heading into the weekend. 

Rain moves back into the Baltimore area Tuesday night

Temperatures are slowly climbing into the low and mid-70s this afternoon, under lots of clouds. A few spots could get close to 80 early in the evening. Any showers and storms that develop before sunset will be very spotty. Most neighborhoods should stay dry through dinner time. 

Tuesday night will be mild and muggy, with areas of fog possible after sunset. Scattered rain and a few thunderstorms will develop and expand across Maryland late in the evening. The chance of wet weather is greatest south of Baltimore tonight, but there will still be some wet roads around the metro as temperatures settle back into the 60s.

A few strong or severe storms are possible on Wednesday

Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday; beginning mild with areas of fog and scattered rain, storms before 9 a.m. As temperatures warm towards 80°, more scattered showers and storms will develop through the afternoon and early evening. Brief heavy rain and gusty winds will accompany any storm that develops. 

A couple storms could produce severe wind gusts, mainly south of Baltimore during the afternoon and early evening. The chance of severe weather is greatest from southern Maryland, across the bay to the lower portion of the eastern shore. 

Wet weather starts to fade on Thursday, with only a spotty shower or storm. Thursday afternoon will feature more sunshine and temperatures peaking in the upper 70s, lower 80s. It will feel much drier on Thursday afternoon, too. 

Nice and comfortable weekend weather in Maryland

Following a dreary Memorial Day Weekend, this-coming weekend is looking much drier and better for all outdoor plans across the Mid-Atlantic. The First Alert Forecast is dry and seasonable on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each day begins with temperatures in the 50s, followed by afternoons spent in the 70s. 

The chance of a light, passing showers is very low. 

There will be low humidity and a refreshing breeze, as well. This dry pattern could last into early next week. Though, there is some uncertainty with that portion of the forecast. The First Alert Weather Team will keep you updated.
