Rounds of rain will continue across Maryland into the start of the weekend

It's a battle between warmer weather to our south and winter chill to our northeast over the next few days. Eventually, warmer weather will win-out. In the meantime, rounds of rain, gloom and chilly temperatures are in the forecast. 

More rain will sweep through the Baltimore metro

Fog and spotty rain are in the Wednesday evening forecast, as temperatures remain steady in the 40s in many areas.

A larger area of rain will approach northern Maryland early Thursday morning. The greatest chance of steady rain is north of I-70 Thursday morning; peaking between 3 and 8 a.m. Rain may be heavy times and could slow the early portion of the Baltimore morning commute on Thursday.

A midday lull in steady rain is expected across Maryland, with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s in northeast Maryland, to near 60° in D.C. Thursday afternoon. Another band of showers, and possibly a few rumbles of thunder, will sweep through Thursday evening. Rain may again be heavy at times.

Rain will be more hit-or-miss on Friday, with another wide range in afternoon temperatures. The Baltimore metro may stay in the 50s on Friday, ahead of warmer weekend weather. 

A few storms are possible in Maryland on Saturday

The gloomy and damp weather pattern finally gets a shake-up as we head into the weekend.

A cold front will approach the Mid-Atlantic on Saturday. Ahead of the front, a band of rain and thunderstorms is expected to sweep through our area, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. The greatest chance of brief downpours on Saturday will arrive in the afternoon and early evening. Don't cancel plans, but remain aware of the classic early spring weather that'll be sweeping through. Your plans may be sent indoors for a bit.

The forecast finally clears out and remains pleasantly mild Sunday, into Monday of next week. While winter isn't over. But, we'll get a nice dose of spring heading into early next week.
