After another unsettled stretch across Maryland, Wednesday brings a somewhat calmer setup for much of the state. It will not be a perfectly sunny summer day everywhere, but compared to the stormier weather Maryland has been dealing with, Wednesday should offer more breaks, lower daytime storm coverage, and a generally quieter feel.
That said, the ground remains damp in many areas, humidity is still around, and fog could be an issue early in the morning. By late Wednesday night into Thursday, shower and thunderstorm chances increase again.
Straight to the Point Forecast
Wednesday looks mostly cloudy to partly sunny across Maryland with highs mainly in the upper 70s to low 80s. Some early fog and leftover showers are possible, especially during the morning commute. Most of the daytime hours look quieter, but clouds will hang around at times.
By late Wednesday night, showers and thunderstorms become more likely again, especially west and central, setting up a wetter Thursday.
Wednesday Morning Commute
The morning commute may start damp in spots, especially where rain fell Tuesday evening. Patchy fog is possible across parts of Western Maryland, north-central Maryland, the Baltimore metro, the DC suburbs, and areas near the Bay.
Drivers should watch for reduced visibility early, wet roads, and ponding in the usual low spots. Most locations should not see a widespread stormy commute, but a few leftover showers cannot be ruled out.
Daytime Forecast
Wednesday afternoon should be quieter for many Maryland communities. Expect a mix of clouds and some breaks of sun, with highs generally in the low 80s for central Maryland, the Baltimore metro, the DC suburbs, Southern Maryland, and much of the Eastern Shore.
Western Maryland may stay a little cooler, especially in the mountains, with highs closer to the upper 70s to near 80. The beaches will also stay cooler with an onshore breeze, with Ocean City likely holding in the 70s.
This will still feel humid, but it should not be the kind of widespread severe or high-impact weather day that requires constant sky-watching for most of Maryland.
Wednesday Evening and Overnight
Clouds increase again Wednesday night, and shower chances begin to rise after dark. By late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, showers and thunderstorms may become more widespread.
This is important because Thursday is currently looking much more unsettled, with a higher chance for showers and storms across much of the state.
