A few rounds of wet weather push through midweek, but conditions improve heading into Friday — and Sunday is shaping up as the best day of the weekend.
Tuesday evening alert: Winds gusting 30–35 mph are elevating wildfire risk through early evening. Otherwise, temperatures hold in the 70s past sunset — a pleasant night for outdoor plans.
Wet Wednesday morning commute: Steady rain spreads into the Baltimore metro between 6–9 a.m. Allow extra time — roads will be slick, though rain won’t be heavy.
Wednesday’s rain in detail
A line of steady rain pushes into central and western Maryland early Wednesday morning, reaching the Baltimore metro between 6 and 9 a.m. Temperatures stay mild — upper 60s to low 70s in the afternoon — following a morning in the 50s and lower 60s. There’s a brief lull mid-afternoon before scattered showers and storms return Wednesday evening. A final round moves through late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Total rainfall through Thursday is expected to stay under half an inch.
Mother’s Day weekend
Friday delivers a welcome rebound: much more sunshine, a refreshing breeze gusting past 20 mph, and temperatures in the mid-to-upper 60s. Saturday brings more clouds and a chance of scattered showers, but conditions warm into the upper 60s and low 70s.
Mother’s Day Sunday looks like the pick of the weekend — partly cloudy skies and afternoon highs approaching 80°F. Keep an eye on Sunday evening, as a system from the west could bring showers late in the day or into Monday.
