Maryland Weather: Damp Start To Work Week; Better Days Ahead

Maryland Weather: Following a damp beginning to the work week, better days are on the immediate horizon: National Weather Service.

Despite what's expected to be a rather soggy beginning to the work week, fret not. Sunshine is on the way after Monday and should stick around for the rest of the week. That's the word for the area outpost of the National Weather Service.

Temperatures throughout the week should be in the mid to upper 80s. By Friday, mostly sunny skies will give way to some clouds and a chance of a thunderstorm here and there. For the most part, though, (after Monday), the week ahead looks pretty darn good, save the heat.

Here's the latest forecast from the National Weather Service:
