Maryland experiences a refreshing change to cooler weather

In Maryland, a significant shift in weather has occurred as high pressure settles over the state, resulting in cooler and drier air settling in. This remarkable change comes at a time when residents have been coping with summer heat and humidity. On August 25, temperatures began to drop, with daytime highs expected to be only in the 70s to low 80s across central and eastern Maryland, a stark contrast to the typical temperatures for late August. Notably, the higher elevations will see even cooler readings, remaining in the 60s and low 70s. As nighttime approaches, with clear skies, temperatures can drop into the 50s, providing a crisp feel to the air. The weather pattern established by the high pressure is expected to persist through the week, offering beautiful conditions that many find reminiscent of early fall. On Tuesday night, temperatures may reach their lowest points since spring, with some areas at risk of patchy frost, which is unusual for this time of year. Midweek forecasts, which extend through Wednesday and Thursday, predict similar weather, with afternoon highs again in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees and nighttime temperatures consistently in the 50s and low 60s. A cold front is expected to move in by Friday, further reinforcing the pleasant, cool air. As the week concludes, residents can look forward to a weekend filled with sunshine and mild temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities. Labor Day may bring a possibility of scattered showers as a low pressure system develops to the southeast. However, for now, the forecast indicates a string of pleasant late-summer weather, inviting residents to enjoy outdoor plans without the oppressive heat typical of the season.
