More scattered rain will impact Maryland through Thursday morning
A more active weather pattern has developed across the southern and eastern United States. There are multiple chances of needed rainfall in Maryland's forecast within the next seven days.
More showers, couple storms in Maryland this evening
A final batch of showers is expected late Wednesday night into Thursday morning as temperatures drop back into the 50s. Thursday is not looking like a washout. The chance of wet weather during the morning commute is greater southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor. You'll want an umbrella through early afternoon, just in case. It will be cooler, too.
Temperatures remain in the mid-60s through the afternoon in many spots. It continues to look like many communities will receive less than a half an inch of rain (in total) through Thursday before rain moves out.
Fantastic Friday across Baltimore
We're looking at a beautiful weather day on Friday! The forecast includes a partly cloudy sky and refreshing breeze. It may get a little gusty, with occasional gusts of wind up to 30 MPH.
Despite a chilly start to Friday morning, with temperatures in the 40s, high temperatures will rebound into the upper 60s Friday afternoon. A couple sprinkles are possible near and north of the Pennsylvania state line.
Changeable weather in the Mother's Day Weekend forecast
Mother's Day Weekend, overall, is looking decent.
Saturday will be the more unsettled weather day. We'll see abundant clouds and a few rounds of showers; wettest in the morning. Temperatures will top out in the lower 70s on Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening and night should dry out nicely if you have outdoor plans.
At this time, Mother's Day looks to be the pick of the weekend. Plan on a partly cloudy sky and afternoon temperatures climbing into upper 70s to around 80°. The weather during the daylight hours of Sunday looks dry. We'll have to keep a close eye on Sunday evening as another disturbance arrives from the west. If this system arrives any faster, showers will move in as early as Mother's Day afternoon. Right now, trends favor the chance of rain not increasing until the dinner hour and beyond.
Either way, another batch of rain moves into the area Sunday night. This rainfall will be incredibly beneficial to our severe drought situation. The rain should begin to taper off sometime midday Monday, followed by clearing and a cooler breeze Monday evening into Tuesday.
