Rain Sunday, then turning cooler in the Baltimore area
The rain will taper this afternoon, followed by cooler temperatures into the new work week.
RAIN APPROACHING THE BALTIMORE AREA ON THIS EASTER SUNDAY. THE WIND IS STARTING TO PICK UP, AND EVENTUALLY THAT WIND WILL FEEL COLDER AS WELL. AND WITHIN THE RAIN, THERE MAY BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE THIS RAIN CLEARS OUT. LATER TODAY, THE WINDS WILL TURN COOLER AND COLDER, AND WE’LL FEEL THAT THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. COLD ENOUGH? THERE COULD BE A FREEZE ON TUESDAY NIGHT. LOOK AT THE CAMERA SHAKING IN DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE AS THE CLOUDS ARE INCREASING. LOOK AT THE RAIN ON OUR DOORSTEP NOW. ALREADY GETTING THROUGH CARROLL COUNTY AND FREDERICK COUNTY AS WELL. ABOUT TO MARCH DOWN I-70. MOVE INTO BALTIMORE COUNTY. SO YOU JUST HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. IF YOU’RE ANYWHERE FROM BALTIMORE TO THE EAST UNTIL THIS RAIN ARRIVES. AND THEN WE’LL BE DEALING WITH A POURING RAIN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING AND THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS WELL. SO THIS IS COMING IN FROM THE WEST, AND THE INITIAL BATCH IS NOT AS HEAVY, BUT WHAT’S BEHIND IT PICKS UP. SO TOWARDS ABOUT TEN AND 11, WE’RE SEEING THAT RAIN PICK UP THROUGHOUT THE 95 CORRIDOR. AND THEN IT REALLY STARTS TO PICK UP BETWEEN 11 AND NOON ACROSS THE EASTERN SHORE. NOTICE THE TEMPERATURES ARE GETTING COOLER BY THEN DROPPING THROUGH THE 60S AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE 50S AS WELL. THROUGH ABOUT NOON. IT’S STILL POURING AROUND ANNAPOLIS AND THE EASTERN SHORE. AND THEN THERE’S ONE FINAL BATCH OF RAIN THAT HAS TO COME THROUGH BEFORE TWO AND 3:00. SO THIS RAIN WILL TAPER OFF BETWEEN TWO IN THE WESTERN SUBURBS THROUGH ABOUT FOUR TO AREAS SOUTH LIKE ANNAPOLIS IN THE EASTERN SHORE. AND THEN IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE UNTIL DINNER TIME UNTIL IT CLEARS OUT FOR THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE. WE’LL HAVE CLEARING SKIES THEN TONIGHT, BUT IT WILL TURN COLDER, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BREEZY WIND. SO THE WIND IS ALREADY BREEZING NOW, BUT IT’S ALREADY BEEN KIND OF A WARMER WIND OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. IT WILL CHANGE FROM THAT DIRECTION 10 TO 15MPH. THERE COULD BE A FEW STRONGER GUSTS WHEN THE RAIN COMES IN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE’S AN EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORM. AND SO RAIN IS LIKELY. YOU CAN DEAL WITH THAT. BUT IF YOU HAPPEN TO HEAR THUNDER, YOU WANT TO GO SAFELY INSIDE UNTIL THAT LIGHTNING THREAT HAS PASSED BY. SO TEMPERATURES DROP DOWN INTO THE LOW 40S TONIGHT. WE’LL END UP IN THE LOW 60S TOMORROW, WHICH IS ACTUALLY NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. IT’S JUST GOING TO FEEL COOLER WITH THE BREEZY WIND. OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. A COUPLE CHILLY DAYS COMING UP BUT GENERALLY SUNNY, SO YOU CAN STILL GET OUT AND ABOUT. ESPECIALLY TUESDAY NIGHT THOUGH YOU’LL NEED TO BUNDLE UP. WE’RE EXPECTING A FREEZE ACROSS THE AREA. YOU STILL NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR PLANTIN
