Maryland
Chilly, windy weather in Maryland Monday, rain to return Tuesday
Cold weather and gusty winds will be the big story across Maryland Monday. Rain will return Tuesday afternoon and evening.
After the rain departs early Wednesday, clouds linger Wednesday into Thursday.
Gusty winds Monday across Maryland
After an incredibly windy Sunday across the state with gusts ranging from 45 mph to 60 mph, we’re gearing up for another day of gusty winds Monday. Wind gusts throughout today won’t be quite as strong in the 25 to 35 mph range.
Despite plenty of sunshine Monday, high temperatures will only reach the upper 40s to near 50°. Wind-chills throughout Monday will stay in the 30s and 40s.
Rain returns Tuesday afternoon in Maryland
Get ready for a gloomy stretch of weather that begins Tuesday. Periods of light to moderate rain are likely across central and eastern Maryland Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night. Clouds continue Wednesday into Thursday before another system brings us more light to moderate rain Friday into Saturday.
Tuesday will start dry and chilly across Maryland with early morning temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Clouds quickly thicken Tuesday morning with temperatures climbing into the 40s. Showers and pockets of light to steady rain will break out across the area after 1 p.m. Tuesday. This light to moderate rain will continue through the evening commute and into Tuesday night. Rainfall totals will range between 0.25″ and 0.33″. As of now, winter weather in the form of wet snowflakes and/or sleet should not be a problem within the WJZ viewing area.
Steady rain should exit the area just before the morning commute begins on Wednesday. Some residual damp streets and sidewalks are possible, but the weather should be drying out. Don’t expect much sunshine Wednesday or Thursday with mostly cloudy to cloudy skies not budging with highs in the lower 50s.
Another storm system pushes in from the west Friday into Saturday with more light to moderate rain across the area. This will also usher in some milder weather Friday morning, with temperatures starting off in the lower 60s. As a cold front crosses the area, cooler air will filter in later Friday into Saturday.
Leonid meteor shower peaks
Early this week, the Leonid meteor shower will peak. Only up to 10-15 meteors per hour will be visible under ideal conditions. The shower peaks on Monday night. Viewing conditions should be decent earlier in the night before increasing clouds obscure viewing conditions before dawn Tuesday.

NASA calls Artemis II mission ‘just the beginning’
The Artemis II crew landed safely back on Earth after a 10-day mission around the moon. NASA said it was the first moon mission “of many more.”
Jessica Watkins, who has already made NASA history, is now set for a second trip to space.
The astronaut from Gaithersburg, Maryland, was announced last week as the spacecraft commander for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission expected to launch later this year.
Here’s what to know about Watkins.
Who is Jessica Watkins?
Watkins was born in 1988 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, located about 25 miles northwest from downtown Washington DC.
It was in Maryland where she first had dreams of going to space. While attending an after-school program at Judith Resnik Elementary School in Gaithersburg as a 9-year-old, she learned the school was named after the second American woman who went to space.
“I learned that you could go into space as a career, and I was definitely hooked,” she told Stanford Magazine in 2022.
She later moved to Lafayette, Colorado, which she considers her hometown, according to NASA.
After graduating with her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, Watkins received her doctorate from UCLA in 2015.
“Jessica Watkins has been shaping the future of space exploration since her days at UCLA,” the university said.
What experience does Jessica Watkins have with NASA?
A geologist by training, Watkins was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2017 after working on Mars rover science teams.
She first left earth in 2022 as the mission specialist on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission, logging 170 days in space.
It was a historic mission for Watkins, who became the first Black woman to live and work at the International Space Station.
“I think it really is just a tribute to the legacy of the Black women astronauts that have come before me, as well as to the exciting future ahead,” Watkins said during an NPR interview.
NASA said her mission duties included “maintaining the space station and contributing to science experiments that not only might improve life on Earth, but also allow researchers to learn more about the effects of long duration spaceflight on the human body.”
In addition to her spaceflight experience, Watkins was named to NASA’s Artemis team, a group of astronauts eligible for future missions to the Moon.
Her experience will now bring her back to the ISS. Watkins will join Luke Delaney, Joshua Kutryk and Sergey Teteryatinikov to replace the Crew-12 mission at the space station.
NASA said the mission is targeted for September.
