High pressure will hang on to control our weather one more day, providing partly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 today.

The high will be displaced tomorrow as an area of low pressure and a cold front move toward the area. The system will spread showers into the area tomorrow morning. Additionally, a line of thunderstorms may move through the area tomorrow afternoon. These showers and storms may produce locally gusty winds. Highs will likely reach the upper 60s before the front moves through tomorrow night.

As the front moves through, much colder air will flow into the region as northwest winds increase. Winds will likely gust to near 40mph. Any left over rain showers may turn to snow before ending around midnight.

A cold front is approaching from the west while a warm front is to the south, trying to move northward. Temperatures across lower southern Maryland and the lower eastern shore have already pushed into the low 60s while areas to the north and west remain in the upper 30s to low 40s.

The warm front should make some more progress northward before the cold front arrives. Expect temperatures to reach the low to mid 50s in central Maryland, mid to upper 40s north and west.

Showers will arrive in the area over the next hour or so. A thunderstorm is also possible this morning as the front moves closer. Expect isolated heavy rainfall and gusty winds in any storms that develop.

The front should cross the entire state by early afternoon, gradually bringing an end to the rain threat.

High pressure will continue to slide off the coast today as a cold front approaches from the west. Expect increasing clouds through the day, with highs in the mid 50s.

Showers will develop tonight as the front moves closer. The showers will continue tomorrow and a thunderstorm is also possible as the front pushes into the area. Some of the showers and storms could produce locally strong, gusty winds. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 50s, possibly low 60s depending on the exact timing of the frontal passage. The front should clear the area during the late morning or early afternoon, gradually ending the rain from west to east.

Behind the front, west to southwest flow will keep temperatures up on Saturday. Expect highs to reach the mid to upper 50s under mostly sunny skies.
