An area of low pressure developing over the Carolinas will move northeastward today. The low will be close enough to spread isolated showers into the region, especially south and east of I-95. Isolated showers are possible this evening and tonight, mainly across southern Maryland and the lower eastern shore. Highs today will be in the upper 70s under generally cloudy skies.

The low will continue to move northeastward tomorrow, keeping the area under easterly flow and allowing isolated showers to spread into portions of the state. The showers may make it a bit further north and westward as the low moves closer. As a result, isolated showers are possible across most of the state but especially east of the mountains. Highs will be in the upper 70s under cloudy skies.

Showers and thunderstorms likely today and tomorrow
