BALTIMORE — Patchy dense fog should lift during the overnight hours. Monday looks partly sunny, dry, & mild. The steady rain from Saturday night into Sunday morning has pushed well offshore. We saw some beneficial rain out of this system, especially across parts of Howard and Anne Arundel counties. Here are some areawide rain totals from this recent rainfall event.
Behind the rain, leftover moisture is causing patchy dense fog across parts of the area. Please use extreme caution when driving by reducing speeds and using your low beams. The fog should gradually dissipate during the overnight hours and should be over before sunrise Monday.
We’ll see mostly clear to partly cloudy conditions by Monday morning with temperatures falling into the upper 30s & lower 40s. Monday through Wednesday we are dealing with plenty of clouds.

A clipper system diving south from Canada arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday. This weak storm will likely bring some showers of rain and even wet snow across western Maryland, but most of our area looks to stay dry.
