Warm weekend ahead of Monday storms in Maryland
Temperatures are slowly cooling back through the 70s and into the 60s this evening. Plan on a warm and pleasant Saturday night for outdoor plans. Clouds continue streaming overhead. A few sprinkles are possible mainly north of I-70; that's it.
Sunday begins with mild 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 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. Monday morning features a few rain showers. Damp roads are possible during the morning commute. A more impactful line of storms sweeps through during the afternoon and evening hours. A few severe thunderstorms are possible. Wind gusts to 60 MPH will be the biggest threat from 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. Weather may impact the Orioles home-opener. 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 will be fine-tuning the forecast this weekend.
