BALTIMORE — Good Thursday night!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the dry stretch over the past few days—because a much wetter pattern is about to take over.
Friday actually starts off on a quiet note. We may even squeeze out a few peeks of sunshine during the morning. By Friday afternoon, a warm front lifts north and brings rain showers back into the forecast. Rainfall with this first round looks light, with most areas picking up less than a tenth of an inch.
Things ramp up early Saturday as a stronger cold front moves through. This one will bring a steadier, heavier rain at times. By the time the system wraps up, total rainfall should land between about 0.75 and 1.25 inches.
Saturday evening trends drier, though a few leftover showers could linger.
Sunday looks mainly dry overall, but it won’t be calm. Winds will be the big story, with gusts topping 40 mph at times—definitely a blustery day to keep in mind if you have outdoor plans.
So… any signs of winter? Not just yet. We’re not seeing any snow chances in the next week. That said, the overall pattern does look colder and more active between January 16–23. Does that guarantee snow? Not necessarily—but it does mean our chances start to increase as we move deeper into the month.
Stay safe, and don’t forget the rain gear this weekend!
