By Wednesday afternoon, more widespread showers arrive, bringing periods of rain that may impact the evening commute along I-95, I-83, and the Baltimore Beltway.
Drivers should prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility during heavier downpours. While severe weather is not guaranteed, a few storms could produce gusty winds and brief heavy rain. Keep devices charged and monitor alerts as conditions evolve.
The unsettled pattern lingers into Thursday with additional chances for showers before a brief break Friday. Another round of rain may develop by Saturday afternoon, continuing the stop-and-go spring pattern.
