Overnight strong storms will push across Maryland

Summer-like Sunday replaced with a March-like Monday

Temperatures ran 20 to 25 degrees above normal for our Sunday - but we will head back to reality on Monday as temperatures drop back into the 50s behind a cold front that will pass through the state early Monday. 

Some of the storms could reach severe limits so we've marked Monday as a possible WJZ Alert Day. The risk for severe weather is low - a level 1 and 2 risk (out of a 5-tier system). That means we have the possibility for an isolated storm to become severe.  

Although the risk for severe weather is on the lower side, the risk is not zero. The main thrust of the storms will push through during the overnight and should be clearing the Eastern Shore in Maryland by late morning. Monday will also have breezy and gusty winds with gusts around 30 mph possible. 

Drying out this week

The middle of the week will be mainly dry. A few showers are possible later in the day on Thursday. 

Right now, the outlook for Orioles' opening day looks good. High temperatures on Thursday reach the low 60s after Tuesday and Wednesday only warm into the 50s.

A higher chance for showers moves in on Friday with a cold front.
