Weather! Less sun for the next two days, and a chance of rain

I washed my car yesterday. I just couldn’t take the pollen anymore. If it rains today, please don’t hold it against me.

Clouds are moving into the area this morning; they’re associated with a stationary front that’s draped across most of the eastern half of the United States. The rest of Tuesday is looking like a mostly cloudy day as the stationary front lingers. It is stationary, after all. There’s a band of showers stretching across most of northern Maryland at the moment; we also may see a few periods of rain this afternoon as temperatures increase. We should still hit 70 today without too much issue. Don’t be surprised to see some sun peeking through the clouds in a few places, either. Tuesday night should be similar to Monday night, temperature-wise, with lows in the mid 40s.

Wednesday is looking pretty similar. Temperatures will be slightly cooler, but most of the rain threat is gone as a large area of high pressure currently over New England tracks south. Our high temperature will hang near 65, but overall it should still be a nice day (assuming you’re not having the same allergy woes plaguing most of the area at the moment, that is). The clouds will clear out beginning Wednesday afternoon into the evening, sending lows back to near 45.

The mostly quiet pattern that has held for the last two weeks looks to continue into the future. Thursday is looking a lot like Monday, and I’ll have a complete forecast for the rest of the week, including Opening Night at The Diamond, ready in plenty of time.
