Rainy Wednesday Turns Sunny Thursday, Then Rain Returns

The day starts with a warm front over Maryland on Wednesday morning, bringing scattered showers that last until lunch. After the front moves northeast of the area, clouds clear and a warmer afternoon follows. The wet spell is part of Earth Day celebrations; temperatures climb into the upper 60s and 70s by early afternoon. Thursday is a bright, almost perfect day for outdoor plans. The sky stays mostly clear and heat rises into the upper 70s to lower 80s across the Baltimore metro. It’s likely the best weather of the week for family outings or sports.Friday begins cool, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Mid‑afternoon brings scattered showers and occasional storms, especially to the west of Baltimore. Lightning is possible there, which could affect the Orioles’ home game that day. The weekend cools down further. Saturday’s temperatures hover in the lower 60s, and rain peaks during the afternoon into evening. A chilly east wind adds to the unsettled feel, raising concerns for Saturday’s Orioles match if the rain continues. Sunday eases slightly in the morning and clears by afternoon, giving a drier setting for the Orioles game. Overall rainfall over the weekend is modest, between 0. 25 and 0. 50 inches, but any moisture helps ease the current drought.
