The second round of storms is the one to watch tonight. The first wave of showers has already moved through Baltimore this Wednesday morning, and that part is manageable.
If you're driving home tonight, the decision point is roughly seven-thirty. Leaving before that gives you a reasonable buffer.
There's no major severe weather outbreak expected here. The National Weather Service sees storms as possible, not as a significant threat.
Thursday drops sharply. The forecast comes in about fifteen degrees cooler than average for mid-May, with westerly winds running around fifteen miles per hour.
The tradeoff is that the weekend makes up for all of it quickly. Saturday comes in near the low eighties.
The one thing still unresolved is whether the evening storm band slides earlier or later than eight p.m. If it arrives closer to seven, the commute window tightens further.
