Drier, more pleasant weather across Maryland heading into late week

The worst of the rain and storms has moved out of central Maryland, the Baltimore metro and eastern shore. The forecast continues to gradually improve late in the workweek, ahead of a pleasant weekend for plans.

Few more showers around Baltimore Wednesday night

Expect a mostly cloudy sky, with warm and humid conditions Wednesday night. Scattered rain will continue to move in overnight. The chance of damp weather peaks between 11 p.m. and 4 am. in many areas.

Thursday starts off with clouds, areas of fog, spotty drizzle and warm temperatures. Gusty northwest winds pick-up heading into the afternoon, flushing out the humidity. Temperatures will be comfortably warm in the upper 70s to lower 80s Thursday afternoon, with a dry forecast and more sunshine. 

Refreshing and dry weekend weather in Maryland

This-coming weekend is looking much drier and better for all outdoor plans across the Mid-Atlantic, compared to Memorial Day Weekend. The First Alert Forecast is mostly dry and seasonable on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

Plan on a mix of sun and clouds each day. Saturday and Sunday begin with temperatures in the 50s, followed by afternoons spent in the 70s. Humidity remains low, too.

The chance of rain increases a bit during the beginning of next workweek. The next chance of wetter wet arrives on Monday. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team will be fine-tuning the return of rain in the forecast... keeping you updated on WJZ, streaming on CBS News Baltimore and on-the-go in the CBS News App.
