Baltimore, MD - Sept. 21, 2023 - A developing low-pressure system near the coast of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas is poised to impact Maryland, according to Pikesville Patch. The National Weather Service warns of substantial rainfall, breezy conditions, and potential tidal flooding in Maryland over the weekend due to this system. Even if the system doesn't evolve into the next named tropical storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, it's still expected to bring gusty winds and significant rain to the Mid-Atlantic. Forecasts for Maryland suggest an increase in rainfall starting from Friday night. Predictions indicate possible rainfall totals ranging from 1 to 3 inches across the area. The weather outlook for central Maryland anticipates cloudy, rainy, and windy conditions through the weekend, potentially extending into early Monday.
