Snow gradually ending this morning; Chance of showers Wednesday

A WINTER STORM WARNING remains in effect for: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Dorchester, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Kent, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, St. Mary’s, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester counties.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect for: Allegany and Washington counties.

As the latest storm system pulls away from the area, expect areas of light snow or flurries to continue over the next few hours, gradually coming to an end.

The storm generally behaved as expected, except it was colder to start and the area of heavier snow set up farther north than anticipated. Bands of heavy snow set up over central Maryland, greatly increasing snow totals. In general, 5-10″ fell across central and southern Maryland, with lesser amounts to the north. It was a tricky forecast and we certainly got a lot more snow than forecast, thanks to the enhanced banding.

Mostly sunny today; Wintry mix likely Sunday night & Monday

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH is in effect this afternoon for all of Maryland, west of the bay (except Garrett county).

Today will be mostly sunny, breezy but warmer, with afternoon highs in the upper 50s to around 60.

Clouds will increase tonight as a weak cold front approaches from the west. The front will pass through tomorrow morning, bringing a slight chance of a shower as it does. The front will push southward during the day, clouds will decrease while west winds increase but temperatures should warm into the low to mid 60s.

The front will make it into southern Virginia before stalling out Saturday night. High pressure to the north will begin to funnel cold air southward and into the area. This will set the stage for the next storm system that will approach from the southwest.

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm today; Much colder tomorrow

A Wind Advisory is in effect this evening into tomorrow morning for the entire state except the lower eastern shore

An area of low pressure and a strong cold front will move into and through the area today and tonight. Ahead of the system, strong southerly flow will push temperatures into the upper 60s to around 70 this afternoon.

Expect showers to develop later this morning into this afternoon. As the front moves closer this afternoon and evening, thunderstorms will be possible. There is a slight risk that these storms may be severe with strong, damaging winds as the primary threat. Stay alert for possible watches and warnings this afternoon and evening.

Partly sunny and warm today; Showers and possibly a thunderstorm tomorrow

High pressure will hang on to control our weather one more day, providing partly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 today.

The high will be displaced tomorrow as an area of low pressure and a cold front move toward the area. The system will spread showers into the area tomorrow morning. Additionally, a line of thunderstorms may move through the area tomorrow afternoon. These showers and storms may produce locally gusty winds. Highs will likely reach the upper 60s before the front moves through tomorrow night.

As the front moves through, much colder air will flow into the region as northwest winds increase. Winds will likely gust to near 40mph. Any left over rain showers may turn to snow before ending around midnight.

Light wintry mix to rain possible, mainly east; Introducing new forecast zones

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect for Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties until noon.

An area of low pressure is moving northeastward off the Carolina coast. The storm will stay well to our south but the northern fringe may spread some light precipitation into the southern and eastern portions of the state.

At the onset, it will be cold enough for any precip that falls to fall in the form of sleet or freezing rain. Temperatures will climb above freezing later this morning, turning any remaining precip over to plain rain. Light showers may persist through the afternoon and into tonight.

Highs today will be around 40 under cloudy skies.

High pressure builds in tomorrow, leading to a pleasant day, with partly sunny skies and highs in the mid 50s.

High pressure to our north will provide another calm day today. It will be partly sunny and breezy with highs in the low 30s.

An area of low pressure over the south will move northeastward today and tonight. The low will pass by to our south tomorrow but may come close enough to bring light rain showers to the area tomorrow morning into tomorrow evening.

Rain chances will be higher across the southern portions of the state as well as the lower eastern shore. Highs will be in the upper 30s to near 40.

High pressure builds back in on Saturday, leading to a mostly sunny day with highs in the mid 50s.

Mostly sunny today; Quiet end to the week

Today will be mostly sunny and warmer than yesterday. Highs will reach the mid to upper 30s.

As an area of low pressure approaches from the south, winds will increase tomorrow. Expect partly sunny skies with highs in the mid 30s.

The low pressure should move off the coast far enough to our south to leave the state mostly dry. There is a slight chance of a showers across lower southern Maryland and the eastern shore Friday afternoon as the low slides off the coast. Highs on Friday will be in the mid 40s.

Saturday should be warmer and dry, with highs in the low to mid 50s under partly sunny skies.

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm this morning; Cooler and dry this weekend

A cold front is approaching from the west while a warm front is to the south, trying to move northward. Temperatures across lower southern Maryland and the lower eastern shore have already pushed into the low 60s while areas to the north and west remain in the upper 30s to low 40s.

The warm front should make some more progress northward before the cold front arrives. Expect temperatures to reach the low to mid 50s in central Maryland, mid to upper 40s north and west.

Showers will arrive in the area over the next hour or so. A thunderstorm is also possible this morning as the front moves closer. Expect isolated heavy rainfall and gusty winds in any storms that develop.

The front should cross the entire state by early afternoon, gradually bringing an end to the rain threat.
