The heaviest downpours arrive around mid‑afternoon, but they last only a short time. A brief burst of heavy rain is usually followed by lighter showers before the clouds finally clear. Even when the rain stops, gusty winds can still blow across the state, especially in spots that miss the storm. A few thunderstorms are possible, adding a chance of stronger winds and brief flashes of lightning. After the storms pass, many areas will be dry by evening, with clouds lingering before a patch of sunshine may appear before sunset.Windy conditions will continue into the next couple of days. Breezes keep coming on Monday and Tuesday, keeping temperatures low. On Monday the high will top out around 60°, while Tuesday afternoon may dip closer to 50°. Wednesday stays in the upper 40s to low 50s, with a slight warm‑up compared to Tuesday. Thursday marks the real temperature shift. Warmth creeps in, bringing highs near 70°. Friday and the weekend stay in the comfortable 70s, giving residents a chance to enjoy milder weather after the chilly start. Overall, Maryland’s Easter Sunday is marked by shifting clouds, intermittent rain, and lingering breezes that keep the air cool until midweek. As the week progresses, temperatures climb steadily, offering a pleasant break from the early chill.
