Maryland is now under weather alert Saturday for high winds.

Saturday starts with scattered showers ahead of a potent cold front.

A high wind warning goes into effect at noon due to potential for wind gusts up to 60 mph. The afternoon turns drier, warmer, and windier with highs in the upper 70s.

A second cold front will sweep across the region this evening and produce additional showers and isolated gusty thunderstorms. Eastern Maryland is included in a marginal risk for severe weather (one out of five on the threat scale) meaning damaging wind gusts are possible with developing storms.

Expect a much cooler end to the weekend. Highs on Sunday only will reach the mid to upper 50s. Skies will be sunny, and it will be breezy.

Temperatures will rebound to the 70s to start the workweek. Wednesday and Thursday will bring the next chances for rain. Friday will be dry and cooler.
