The former Hurricane Ian could bring downpours to Maryland this weekend.
The Old Line State, however, will probably avoid severe damage. Still, Ocean City on Thursday canceled a music festival scheduled for this weekend out of an abundance of caution.
Ian hit Florida's Gulf Coast on Wednesday as a category 4 hurricane. The storm trekked east across the state, losing wind speed as it traveled inland. That weakening force downgraded Ian to a tropical storm as it reentered the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday.
Ian could regain energy as it spins off Florida's Atlantic Coast. That ocean water may rejuvenate the storm and return it to a category 1 hurricane, AccuWeather reported.
