METEOROLOGIST TOM TASSELMYER. THE CLOUDY AND COOL AND RAINY DAY ACROSS OUR AREA AND MANY LOCATIONS ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR. PRETTY CLOSE TO HALF AN INCH OF RAIN FALLING FROM EARLY THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. HOURS A LITTLE HEAVIER DOWN TO OUR SOUTH AROUND D.C. AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE BAY OVER TOWARD KENT ISLAND, ABOUT JUST UNDER AN INCH THERE, ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH FROM KENT ISLAND, ALMOST INTO PARTS OF QUEEN ANNE’S COUNTY AND KENT COUNTY THERE. BUT MOST LOCATIONS ABOUT A HALF INCH AROUND THE RAIN. ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR THERE, MUCH LESS OFF TO THE WEST OF US. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE THE PATTERN, THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE STAYING MUCH DRIER THAN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, IT’S 47 DEGREES RIGHT NOW AT BWI WITH CALM WINDS AND 93% HUMIDITY. THE RAIN IS BRIEFLY TAPERED OFF, CHILLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 40S. THERE. UPPER 40S SOUTH OF BALTIMORE AND 51 AT THE MARYLAND SCIENCE CENTER DOWNTOWN. NEXT 24 HOURS, THE RAIN SHOWERS COME BACK OVERNIGHT, AND YOU CAN SEE THEY’RE EXPECTED TO BE HERE INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY, WHICH IS GETTING PRECARIOUSLY CLOSE TO THE FIRST PITCH OF THE ORIOLES AT 2024 SEASON AT CAMDEN YARDS. RAIN SHOWERS JUST WEST OF BALTIMORE. RIGHT NOW, THE HEAVIER RAIN IS OVER ON THE EASTERN SHORE AS WE SPEAK, BUT THERE’S MORE COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH. AND SO THIS PATTERN IS GOING TO HOLD WHERE WE SEE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN WESTERN MARYLAND. CLOUDY, WET WEATHER AND COOL CONDITIONS IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS A SLOW MOVING SYSTEM. SO WHAT WE SEE HERE IS LIKELY TO LINGER INTO AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF TOMORROW ON FUTURECAST AT 1045 THIS EVENING. WE STILL HAVE SOME SHOWERS AROUND BALTIMORE AND SOME HEAVIER RAIN ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS AS WE HEAD TOWARD TOMORROW MORNING. RAIN FALLING ON THE EASTERN SHORE AND SOME RAIN IN BALTIMORE. FAST FORWARD TO A FUTURECAST TO 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, RIGHT AROUND FIRST PITCH FOR THE ORIOLES GAME, AND WE’RE STILL SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THAT RAIN, SO GOOD. 50% CHANCE AT LEAST SOME SHOWERS IN THE AREA AT 3:00, BUT THE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WE GO, THE BETTER THE WEATHER GETS AS THE RAIN SHIFTS OVER CLOSER TO THE COAST AND THE SKIES TRY TO CLEAR A LITTLE BIT AROUND BALTIMORE, HEADING TOWARDS 6 OR 7 IN THE EVENING AND THEN ALL OUT CLEARING BUT CHILLY TEMPERATURES COMING IN TOMORROW NIGHT. LOOK AT THAT BY TEN TOMORROW NIGHT WE’RE DROPPING INTO THE 30S AND LOW 40S, SO IT’S A COOL AND CLOUDY WEATHER FORECAST FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 24 HOURS. PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SHOWERS ARE LIKELY DURING THE DAY TOMORROW THAT WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN A BIT. THE WINDS ARE GOING TO SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND BECOME KIND OF BREEZY, BUT THE SHOWER CHANCES START TO TAPER OFF IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, SO 50% CHANCE OF WET WEATHER AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON DOWN AT ORIOLE PARK AND THEN MOSTLY CLOUDY AT SIX. WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH, MAKING THOSE LOW 50S FEEL A BIT CHILLIER TOMORROW. WESTERN MARYLAND WILL PROBABLY EVEN SEE SOME SUNSHINE, BUT NOT VERY WARM. MCHENRY ONLY 44 TOMORROW. THEN THE WET WEATHER FROM BALTIMORE DOWN TO OCEAN CITY DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. IF WE CAN GET INTO FRIDAY. IT LOOKS PRETTY NICE THOUGH. SUNNY SKIES AND 60. PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE FOR A COUPLE SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE AREA TO START THE WEEKEND SATURDAY AND THEN MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ON EASTER SUNDAY WITH HIGHS AROUND 67 BEFORE THAT.
