Decreasing clouds today

After a foggy start, high pressure will continue to move into the region today allowing for clearing skies and sunshine by this afternoon. Highs today will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

A low pressure system and cold front will approach the area tomorrow, enhancing southerly flow and allowing temperatures to warm into the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Clouds increase Friday night as the front nears, and scattered showers and thunderstorms will affect the state on Saturday. Latest model trends have the front clearing the area Saturday night causing the low pressure system that forms along it to track east of the area, decreasing the threat of heavy rain on Sunday and Monday. If this scenario plays out, there would still be a slight chance of rain, and it would be much lighter.

Showers today, heavier rain still possible this weekend

Showers associated with an area of low pressure are moving into the area from the southwest. Expect light rain to continue off and on through the day and into tonight. Highs today will be in the low 60s under cloudy skies.

Skies clear tomorrow, as high pressure builds in from the north. Expect temperatures to reach the upper 60s to near 70 under mostly sunny skies.

High pressure moves off the coast on Friday, allowing southerly flow to increase, driving temperatures back up into the mid to upper 70s under sunny skies. Clouds increase Friday night as another, a cold front and larger storm system moves in for the weekend.

Sunny and warm through the weekend

As high pressure moves off the coast today, southerly flow around it will set up and begin to pump warmer air into the region. Highs today will push into the mid 60s and will rise into the mid 70s tomorrow and low 80s on Sunday. The high will also continue the stretch of dry weather through the weekend.

As a strong area of low pressure moves into the center of the country, the southerly flow will increase and temperatures will rise into the mid 80s on Monday and Tuesday.

Scattered showers and storms this afternoon

An area of low pressure moving through the Great Lakes will drag a cold front through the state this evening. Ahead of the front, strong southwesterly winds will send temperatures into the 70s and set the stage for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

There is a slight risk that these storms could become severe with large hail and damaging winds as the primary concern. Be sure to check the radar and be aware of any possible watches and warnings that may be issued this afternoon.

The showers and storms will be pushed eastward and off the coast by later this evening as the cold front moves through.

After a cold morning, temperatures will continue to climb into the 50s under mostly sunny skies. Another cold front will approach tomorrow, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Highs tomorrow will approach 70 in most areas.

Behind the front temperatures will remain above normal with highs on Thursday through Saturday in the low to mid 60s.

One more warm day

The end of the work week will also be the end of our stretch of unseasonably warm weather. Skies will turn mostly sunny today and highs will approach 80 in most areas.

As the storm system that is currently over the midwest approaches the area, scattered showers will develop tonight.

Showers will become more numerous tomorrow and a thunderstorm or two will be possible. Some of the showers could produce locally heavy rainfall. Highs tomorrow will top out in the mid 60s.

Foggy start, partly sunny this afternoon

Much like yesterday, this morning’s fog will burn off leaving partly sunny skies for the remainder of the day. Today’s highs will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday, pushing into the low 70s.

Expect more sunshine tomorrow as temperatures push to near 80 ahead of an area of low pressure that is moving into the Ohio Valley. As the low approaches Friday night, expect showers to develop across the area.

More of the same

Another foggy morning will lead to another warm afternoon. As the marine layer is pushed back to the east, temperatures will climb into the mid 70s today and tomorrow.

As a storm system approaches, more warmth and moisture will be drawn northward and into the area, pushing Friday’s highs to near 80.

Rain chances increase Friday night and scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely Saturday.

Scattered showers and storms today

Despite the clouds and scattered showers, highs today will still climb to near 70 degrees. A weak disturbance will move through this afternoon, bringing a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms through this evening.

The area of high pressure that has been anchored off the Carolina coast will continue to dominate our weather. Expect the marine layer to move back into the area tonight, bringing more foggy conditions for tomorrow morning.

Foggy start, showers and storms possible this afternoon

A back door cold front has moved through central Maryland and has stalled out just west of Washington, DC. This has allowed cooler, moist marine air to move into central and eastern Maryland.

Expect the front to be pushed back to the east as an upper level disturbance moves through this afternoon, bringing with it a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of these showers and storms could produce locally heavy rain and gusty winds. Highs today will top out in the upper 60s to around 70 under partly sunny skies.
