Maryland – A pleasant stretch of weather will continue across Maryland through Saturday, as high pressure keeps skies mostly sunny and humidity on the lower side. Temperatures will remain near seasonal averages, offering residents comfortable conditions before the arrival of a cold front.
Cold Front Brings Showers and Storm Chances
By Sunday, a cold front will push into the state, bringing scattered showers and the possibility of a few thunderstorms. While storms may occur late Sunday into Sunday night, forecasters note that instability appears limited, keeping the risk of severe weather low. Showers are expected to taper off early Monday as the front exits.
Preview of Fall with Canadian High Pressure
Behind the system, a strong dome of Canadian high pressure will settle over Maryland, delivering an early preview of fall. Dry conditions, cooler temperatures, and crisp air will dominate much of next week.
- Daytime highs on Tuesday and Wednesday will reach the mid to upper 70s.
- Overnight lows will dip into the upper 40s to low 50s, with some higher valleys in western Maryland flirting with 30s.
Residents can expect clear skies and sunshine, with occasional passing clouds as weak disturbances move through.
Winds and Weekday Outlook
Winds will briefly increase on Monday, with gusts near 20 mph out of the north and northwest, before easing Tuesday as the high pressure dominates. The cooler, dry pattern is expected to linger through the week, with another front possible next weekend, bringing the next chance of showers and storms across the state.
