Friday will start off rainy in the Baltimore area, but the rain is expected to end by the afternoon, giving way to a milder and drier day. However, more rain is expected to develop over the weekend, and could potentially turn into accumulating snow.

Why it matters

The Baltimore region has been dealing with a long-term drought, so the upcoming rainfall is welcomed, even if it brings the potential for wintry weather. The changing weather patterns over the next few days will impact travel and outdoor activities in the area.

The details

If the storm is colder and stronger, some areas could see up to 6 inches of snow, but the most likely scenario is 2-3 inches for the Baltimore area.
