Baltimore, Maryland – Commuters across Maryland and the D.C. region should prepare for wet roads and lingering rain through Wednesday night as a slow-moving low-pressure system spreads showers from west to east.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, steady rainfall begins Tuesday, with highs stuck in the 60s—well below seasonal averages. Heavier rain is likely Wednesday morning, with scattered afternoon showers continuing into the evening.
In Frederick, Gaithersburg, and Silver Spring, daily rainfall could lead to slick road conditions during peak commute hours. On Thursday, a cold front may trigger scattered thunderstorms with a return to warmer air—highs could climb into the upper 70s. Friday brings a continued risk of afternoon storms as humidity builds.
Residents are urged to avoid waterlogged roads, check windshield wipers, and secure outdoor items ahead of gusty winds. Mountain regions could see slightly cooler highs, ranging in the 50s and 60s.
Warmer, more typical late-May conditions are expected to return by the weekend, though the risk of isolated storms will linger into early June. Further advisories may be issued if storm intensity increases.
