BALTIMORE — Tuesday will be breezy and very dry as temperatures warm up. Winds from the south-southwest are expected to gust as high as 35 mph during the afternoon. With humidity levels dropping into the mid-20s and dry fuels on the ground, a Special Weather Statement is in effect for an enhanced fire weather threat. Please be cautious with any outdoor ignition sources as vegetation is still dry.
Rain returns on Wednesday as a front moves into the region. Expect widespread showers and a few thunderstorms from Wednesday morning through the evening, bringing between a quarter to a half inch of beneficial rainfall. Another round of light rain is likely on Thursday, adding another tenth to a quarter inch of moisture.
