Storms Move Into MD This Weekend: See Latest Updates, Timing

MARYLAND — Storms and rain will start to move into Maryland on Friday afternoon, setting up the state for a wet weekend filled with thunder and multiple rounds of showers, according to the latest forecasts.

A slow-moving cold front enters the state on Friday and is expected to spawn showers and thunderstorms, particularly west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the National Weather Service said in its latest forecast. Thunderstorm activity is expected to spread east and reach the Baltimore area by evening.

A hazardous weather outlook is in effect for portions of Baltimore, Montgomery, Howard, Harford, Carroll, Frederick and Washington counties in Maryland.

"It will probably be dry more often than not, but we can’t rule out showers or thundershowers — possibly with heavy downpours — in the morning or afternoon," the Capital Weather Gang said.
