The stationary front should move back through the area as a cold front Thursday afternoon, bringing another chance of showers and storms before clearing out Thursday evening.

Rainfall totals of 2-4" are expected by Thursday evening.

After holding the chances to 40% for the past few days, the NWS has increased the chance of showers on Sunday up to 60% and "likely." Totals don't look to be a lot, but up to a quarter of an inch could fall and every little bit helps at this point.

The last measurable rain in Central MD fell on 8/23.

Hopefully everyone gets some much needed rain, as after this it appears another dry week is on the way.
