Good Monday night!

Autumn officially begins Tuesday at 8:05 PM, and the weather will certainly feel like fall!

Expect a rainy and breezy Tuesday, with showers sticking around for much of the day. While the risk of thunderstorms is low, a rumble of thunder can't be ruled out. Winds could gust between 20–25 mph, with rainfall totals generally ranging from a half-inch to an inch. Rain will continue Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

High pressure building to our north will help push the rain farther south on Wednesday. That means most of the area should dry out, with lingering showers mainly confined to far southern Maryland.

Our attention then turns to the Friday–Saturday timeframe and the potential for a nor'easter. Right now, most forecast models keep the bulk of the rain offshore, leaving much of the area dry aside from eastern Maryland. However, even a slight shift westward could bring a wetter scenario to the Baltimore metro area.
