Maryland is set to experience a cool and wet Memorial Day weekend, with temperatures plummeting from recent highs in the 90s to the 50s and 60s. The shift in weather is attributed to a slow-moving frontal system, bringing persistent rain and possibly thunderstorms from Friday through Monday. According to meteorologists, Friday will start with showers after 10 AM, leading to a high of around 63°F. Saturday is expected to be particularly grim, with a 100% chance of rain and potential thunderstorms, as temperatures barely reach 62°F. On Sunday, while temperatures may warm slightly to 73°F, rain is still likely, especially in the afternoon. Memorial Day itself may see showers after 2 PM, with a high near 79°F. Despite the dreary forecast, the rain could provide some relief to the severe drought conditions currently affecting much of the state. AccuWeather's Lead Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok noted that areas in the mid-Atlantic could receive a couple of inches of rain, although more is needed to fully address the drought.
