There are multiple chances of rain across Maryland this week
While the workweek has begun with beautiful weather across Maryland, changes are on the way. Chances of rain are in the forecast along with cooler-than-normal temperatures. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has tagged Wednesday as a possible First Alert Weather Day for rain, thunderstorms and possible travel delays.
Pleasant weather continues in Baltimore Monday evening.
The sky remains mostly clear tonight as temperature settle back into the 50s during the late evening hours. Temperatures will reach lows in the mid to upper 40s by sunrise on Tuesday in Baltimore; cooler on the eastern shore. A light jacket is a good idea out the door in the morning.
Wet weather returns to Maryland Tuesday into Wednesday
Chances of much needed rain are on the way!
Clouds will thicken Tuesday morning, with a few showers developing during the afternoon hours. Rain will remain light and scattered on Tuesday. The chance of rain peaks between 2 and 8 p.m. Not everyone will get rained on. Afternoon temperatures top-out in the mid to upper 60s, with more clouds around.
A more impactful batch of rain is expected Wednesday afternoon and evening. Wednesday starts-off mainly cloudy, dry and breezy. Temperatures climb into the the mid and upper 60s by mid-afternoon, ahead of the wet weather. Rain and a few thunderstorms will develop after lunchtime and continue through the evening hours.
Rin will be heavy, at times. Rain could also slow down the evening commute. Some brief and minor road flooding is possible where the heaviest rain falls. Generally, rainfall amounts will average between 0.50" and 1". This rainfall will be more helpful than hurtful considering the ongoing drought.
Because the heavier rain may coincide with the early evening commute, the WJZ First Alert Weather Team has tagged Wednesday as a possible First Alert Weather Day.
Cool spring temperatures into the weekend
A few more showers are possible later Friday into Saturday. There is still some uncertainty with how much rain will be around during the first-half of the weekend. The First Alert Weather Team will keep you updated.
Below normal temperatures continue through late week, into the weekend. High temperatures will only top-out in the low to mid-60s, with overnight lows in the upper 30s and lower 40s. We will have to monitor frost potential closely a few of the nights.
Temperatures will gradually warm up heading into next week.
