I wish we had better news for your Memorial Day, but we’re tracking another round of showers — especially early Monday morning. Satellite imagery shows a front moving across the Ohio Valley that will stall over the Mid-Atlantic on Monday, bringing periods of rain and the chance for a few thunderstorms. The best chance for showers looks to come during the morning hours.
Tuesday will be much drier, although clouds will linger through much of the day. Shower chances will be highest across southern Maryland.
Another front moves through Wednesday, and this time thunderstorms appear to be the main concern during the afternoon and evening hours as daytime heating peaks. Behind that front, a much drier air mass arrives, bringing back sunshine and more seasonable temperatures for the second half of the week.
