TODAY'S MARYLAND WEATHER FORECAST
Meteorologist Ava Marie says periods of heavy rain today and tonight could lead to flooding on roads, near streams, and low-lying areas. Temps will top out in the high 50's as the rain will be around most of the day.
The flood concerns could extend into the weekend as the rain continues Saturday. It will be very chilly and breezy, but the rain showers should taper through Mother’s Day. The temps will be in the 50's for both days but next week looks drier with a warming trend.
