Maryland
Cool end to the weekend
Happy Sunday, Maryland!
After later day showers on Saturday, we’re in for a cool end to the weekend. A little sunshine may break through today but clouds will dominate the skies.
Chilly and gray on Sunday
A front that moved through Saturday night into Sunday morning is now south of us. High pressure will be our dominant weather feature to end the weekend, keeping us mainly dry. Some fog or drizzle is possible. Cloud cover, however, remains in play through the day.
Due to the location of high pressure to our north, our winds here in Maryland will come from the north and east. Highs Sunday afternoon will only be in the upper 50s to around 60°.
Some clearing is possible in the afternoon. More clearing comes overnight into Monday morning.
Spring-like temperatures, rain chances this week
High pressure remains in control to start the work week. Sunshine returns on Monday along with warmer temperatures. Highs peak in the mid to upper 60s. That’ll be where we land, temperature-wise, many days this week.
As a warm front approaches Tuesday, more clouds are expected along with some afternoon showers. The warm front will still be in our vicinity on Wednesday. Midweek is when we’ll have our higher chance for rain as a cold front moves through going into Thursday morning.
Thursday during the day looks nice. Sunshine and clouds mixed.
Low-end rain chances return Friday into Saturday. Slightly cooler air and breezy winds settle in late week into the first weekend of May.

Local leaders in Md. unite for Juneteenth Heritage Festival
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore spoke about the difference between liberation and freedom, in the opening ceremony of the 2026 Scotland Juneteenth Heritage Festival, in one of Montgomery County’s oldest historic Black communities.
In Cabin John Regional Park, Moore was joined by local dignitaries, including descendants of William Dove, the first formerly enslaved man who purchased 36 acres of farmland in 1880 for $210, located in what is now Potomac.
Moore said that ending slavery was an important moment of liberation, celebrated by Juneteenth, “but liberation is not freedom.”
Even after liberation, Moore said that “the idea of freedom became something that still remained elusive.”
When Dove purchased property in the Scotland community, Moore said that economic empowerment was a step toward freedom.
“The freedom to be able to own more than you owe. A freedom to be able to pass something along to your children besides debt. A freedom to be able to walk freely, knowing that you should be able to feel safe in your own community, in your own neighborhood, and in your own skin,” said Moore.

A University of Maryland (UMD) football player was arrested for harassment, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
Dontay Joyner, a defensive back and rising senior at UMD, was charged with telephone misuse for making repeated calls, electronic communications harassment, and violating release conditions, a misdemeanor offense, according to court records.
Joyner’s attorney is calling the ordeal “outrageous,” saying “[Joyner] has been locked in a cage in Harford County for seven nights after being charged with a misdemeanor for telephone misuse for texting his longtime girlfriend during an argument. This is simply outrageous.”
Joyner’s attorney, Former Attorney General Douglas Gansler, said the 21-year-old has never been in trouble with the law and does not own a handgun. According to Gansler, Joyner’s girlfriend is “fully supportive of him and does not want to press charges.”
According to the UMD Terps website, Joyner is a Lakeland, Florida, native who previously attended Arkansas State. In the spring, Joyner was given the Nick Cross Defensive Back Award in a tradition that honors “past terrapin greats.”
According to court records, Joyner was held without bond.
WJZ has reached out to UMD officials for comment.
