A slow-moving upper-level low continues to bring widespread rain to the region Tuesday, with moderate to heavy downpours possible through the evening. Rainfall totals by Wednesday morning could approach 3 inches in localized areas, with most spots picking up around 2 inches — a much-needed boost for the region's moisture levels after being nearly 5 inches below normal for the year.

Showers will taper off overnight, becoming more widely scattered and spotty by Wednesday morning. Low temperatures will dip into the low to mid-60s.

By Wednesday, skies will turn partly to mostly cloudy with a fresh round of scattered thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. Highs will climb into the 70s. We will have to watch for the potential for a few isolated strong storms especially for areas south and west of Baltimore Wednesday evening. A few of the storms will contain torrential rainfall and gusty winds. 

The unsettled pattern continues into Thursday as the upper-level low shifts east. Rain chances will remain, but coverage should be more limited, especially during the afternoon.

Another round of showers and storms is possible Friday afternoon, with highs approaching 80 degrees. As the weekend begins, Saturday will bring continued storm chances — particularly in the afternoon — which could impact the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. Highs on Saturday will rise into the low to mid-80s.

By Sunday, brighter and drier conditions finally return. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 80s. The fair weather continues into Monday with near-80-degree highs and overnight lows in the 50s and 60s.

The next rainmaker is set to arrive next Wednesday, bringing another chance for scattered showers and storms.
