This weekend will certainly feel like fall across the board. That’s after a frosty start to Saturday in some neighborhoods. Sunshine will help to warm things up, but temperatures will still fall short of normal late-October standards. Highs area-wide will peak around 60 degrees for both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. On average, you’d expect high temperatures in the mid-60s heading into Halloween.

The weekend also looks dry, which is great for outdoor plans (like the Maryland Crab Cake Festival happening in Carroll County) but not so great for the dry/drought conditions that have returned. Clouds will fill in overhead a bit more on Saturday afternoon. Sunday will have more clouds throughout the day as the Ravens host the Bears starting at 1 p.m. at M&T Bank Stadium, but some sunshine may still break through at times.

This dry pattern continues into the early part of the week.

It won’t be until late Tuesday that we could see some wet weather return to Maryland, with a system bringing multiple chances for showers during the middle to late part of the coming week. Any rain is welcome news as drought conditions continue to increase here in Maryland.

There is also a chance for a few showers and breezy winds on Halloween. If you’re getting a trick-or-treater ready for the big night, stay with the First Alert Weather team for updates on Friday evening.
