Weather in Baltimore is turning wet again east of I-95 this evening and into the night, after scattered showers rolled through overnight and most areas picked up their first measurable rainfall since mid-October. Drier conditions are winning out this afternoon, but another wave of rain is likely to develop east of the front later today.
Baltimore and I-95
Conditions are expected to start turning soggy again around 6-8 PM, with pockets of steadier rain possible after midnight. Locations west of DC and I-95 are likely done with the wet weather from this event, while locations along and east of DC and I-95 are likely to see more scattered rain.
southern MD rain
Parts of southern MD could see close to an inch or more of rain, while the rest of the region is expected to barely scrape out a quarter of an inch. That split gives Baltimore-area readers a narrower band to watch: brief rain is still in play, but the heavier totals are aimed farther southeast of the front.
Weekend and next Thursday
Breezy southerly winds kept temperatures in the 70s this afternoon, and highs are expected to be around 70 degrees tomorrow. The area will struggle to hit 60 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, with overnight lows back in the 30s and 40s over the weekend. A series of fronts will pass by Monday through Wednesday, highs should reach the upper 60s by Tuesday, and then slide to the mid-50s by next Thursday with no rain showing up in the extended forecast.
For readers in Baltimore, the practical takeaway is simple: the window for dry conditions is shrinking this evening east of I-95, while the west side should already be through the rain.
