- Scattered showers will continue through Thursday morning, mainly southeast of I-95 — carry an umbrella for the morning commute.
- Friday brings a welcome break with sunshine, a refreshing breeze, and highs in the upper 60s.
- Saturday turns unsettled again with cloudy skies and rounds of showers, especially in the morning.
- Mother’s Day Sunday looks like the best day of the weekend — but a late-evening system could change things fast.
BALTIMORE, Maryland — Maryland is in the middle of a active weather stretch, and if you have outdoor plans this weekend, you need to know what is coming.
Here is a day-by-day breakdown of what to expect.
Thursday Morning: Grab Your Umbrella Before You Leave
A final round of showers is moving through late Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.
The wettest conditions will be southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor. If you commute through that area, expect some rain during the morning rush.
The good news? Thursday is not a washout. Rain should clear out by early afternoon, and temperatures will settle into the mid-60s for the rest of the day. Most communities will see less than half an inch of rain in total through Thursday.
Friday Is the Best Day of the Work Week
Get outside on Friday — because it is going to be a beautiful day.
Expect a partly cloudy sky, a refreshing breeze, and afternoon highs climbing into the upper 60s. Winds could get a little gusty, with occasional gusts up to 30 MPH, so keep that in mind.
Friday morning will start chilly, with temperatures dipping into the 40s. A couple of light sprinkles are possible near and north of the Pennsylvania border, but nothing that should impact your plans.
Saturday: The Unsettled Day of Mother’s Day Weekend
If you are planning something outdoors on Saturday, be flexible.
Clouds will dominate the sky, and a few rounds of showers are expected — the heaviest in the morning. Afternoon highs will reach the lower 70s. The silver lining? Saturday evening and night look like they will dry out, so dinner or evening plans should be fine.
Mother’s Day Sunday: Looking Good — With One Catch
Right now, Sunday is shaping up to be the pick of the weekend.
Plan on a partly cloudy sky and afternoon temperatures climbing into the upper 70s to around 80°. The daylight hours look dry, which is great news for brunches, cookouts, and family gatherings.
Here is the catch: a weather disturbance is approaching from the west Sunday evening. If it arrives faster than expected, showers could push into the afternoon. Current trends favor rain holding off until the dinner hour and beyond — but keep an eye on the forecast as the weekend gets closer.
Sunday Night Into Monday: Much-Needed Rain for the Drought
Another batch of rain moves in Sunday night, and this one is actually welcome news.
Maryland is currently dealing with a severe drought, and this rainfall will provide meaningful relief. Rain should begin tapering off around midday Monday, followed by clearing skies and a cooler breeze Monday evening into Tuesday.
It is a mixed bag of a week — but at least the weekend has more good days than bad.
