Baltimore, Maryland – Easter Sunday plans across Maryland could be disrupted early as steady rain moves in before sunrise, creating slick roads and reduced visibility during peak holiday travel hours.
According to the National Weather Service, a persistent East Coast storm track will bring above-normal precipitation and warmer-than-average temperatures through Wednesday night. Rainfall totals between 1 and 2 inches are expected statewide, with the heaviest rain falling Sunday between 5 a.m. and noon.
Major corridors including I-95, I-695, I-70, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway may see ponding water and slower traffic as residents head to Easter services and gatherings. Visibility could drop below one mile in heavier downpours, especially across central Maryland and the I-95 corridor.
In Baltimore, Annapolis, and the D.C. suburbs including Silver Spring and Bethesda, steady rain will likely force outdoor egg hunts and holiday events indoors. Warmer air will keep temperatures above seasonal averages, eliminating any wintry concerns but adding to damp, humid conditions.
Travelers using BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport and regional rail lines may also encounter delays tied to persistent rain and low cloud ceilings.
Rain chances remain elevated through midweek, with additional rounds of showers likely to continue impacting travel and outdoor plans across the state.
