Occasional to frequent showers are set to continue after noon. The heaviest rainfall should taper off by 2 or 3 p.m., but wet weather could continue until sunset, Storm Team4 says.
The rain is set to end earliest along Interstate 81 and last the longest in southern Maryland as a cold front moves west to east.
