The risk of heavy rain in parts of Maryland has prompted an Alert Day on Monday
A warm and muggy night is in the forecast across Maryland. Temperatures settle back into the 70s, with lots of humidity.
Risk of heavy rain has prompted a possible Alert Day
Monday is now a WJZ Alert Day, due to a greater risk of heavy rain.
Monday begins muggy, with spotty heavy rain showers during the morning commute. Marylanders wake up to temperatures in the low to mid-70s in many areas. Wet roads are expected in parts of the Baltimore metro during the morning commute. Though morning rain will not be widespread. The chance of rain increases later in the morning, on into the afternoon.
The remnants of Chantal will sweep by Maryland on Monday. While not a tropical system, there will be plenty of tropical moisture passing through. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will produce heavy rain. Some street and road flooding could occur where heavy rain persists for more than 30 or 45 minutes. Rainfall totals will vary from nothing across western portions of the area to up to 4" across pockets of southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore.
The greatest chance of rain remains east of I-95 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Rain quickly diminishes and shifts out of our area by early evening.
Temperatures peak in the upper 80s in most communities. Though it'll cool into the upper 70s and lower 80s where rain is falling.
Rounds of showers and storms persist through the week
We'll remain stuck in an unsettled weather pattern through much of the workweek. It won't rain everywhere, every day. However, rain will occasionally be heavy. Tuesday is a possible Alert Day. A few strong or severe storms are possible. Heavy rain could lead to issues during the evening commute. The middle of the week now appears to be the stormiest.
Plan on showers and thunderstorms being most widespread between 2 and 8 p.m. each day. Have a 'plan B' if you have extended outdoor plans on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday afternoons in particular.
The First Alert Weather team will keep you updated, no matter where you watch.
