Mild again Sunday ahead of Monday storms in Maryland
It was another mild start on Sunday with temperatures in the 50s and lower 60s. It's a battle between sun and clouds again on Sunday. Like Saturday, clouds will win out even though the First Alert Forecast remains mostly dry.
Temperatures soar into the mid and upper 70s across the area Sunday afternoon, with a few peeks of sunshine. Spotty light rain is possible across greater Baltimore during the later afternoon and evening hours. A heavier rain shower or isolated thunderstorm may impact far western Maryland.
First Alert Weather Day | Scattered rain and storms blast through Monday...
A cold front is set to bring an end to the unseasonably warm weather as we start the work week. Monday morning may feature a few rain showers but the timeframe that we're watching is later in the day. A more impactful line of storms sweeps through during the afternoon and evening hours. A few severe thunderstorms are possible - a level two (out of a five tier system) risk for severe weather has been issued. Our biggest concern is the threat for wind gusts to 60 MPH with any storm that manages to become severe. Hail is also possible.
Any storm will be capable of producing brief heavy rain and lots of lightning on Monday. These storms may impact the Orioles home-opener Monday afternoon. However, the timing of storms is important. If storms hold off long enough, the game may go off without a hitch.
The First Alert Weather Team is continuing to monitor the storm timing and threat.
On the other side of the storms on Monday, cooler air settles in for Tuesday into the midweek. Now.... these "cooler" temperatures are closer to early-April high temperatures but will be cooler in comparison to what we've seen for the weekend.
Another chance for rain returns later into the week into the weekend.
