Cloudy and cool today; Slight chance of freezing drizzle tonight

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

Today will be generally cloudy as low pressure to our south and high pressure to our north combine to form easterly flow off of the ocean, resulting in clouds and perhaps some freezing drizzle across southern Maryland this morning. Highs today will be around 40.

Clouds and periods of drizzle will continue tonight, with the drizzle becoming a bit more widespread. Freezing drizzle is possible once again late tonight or early tomorrow morning as temperatures drop to near freezing.

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.

The front will clear the area late tonight, bringing in much colder air and strong gusty winds. Winds could gust to near 50mph tonight and tomorrow morning.

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.

Partly sunny today; Chance of showers tomorrow

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 but cold today

The cold, dry arctic air that overpowered our snowstorm yesterday has settled into the region. BWI hit a morning low of 4, breaking the 141 year record for coldest March temperature ever.

Temperatures will rebound today, but only warm into the mid to upper 20s under mostly sunny skies.

Another cold night is on tap tonight, with lows in the mid teens.

A slight warming trend is on tap, starting tomorrow. Highs will reach the mid 30s under mostly 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.

Showers likely into the afternoon; Continued warmth through Friday

A Freezing Rain Advisory is in effect until 10am for areas north and west of I-95.

A weak cold front is spreading showers through the state this morning. Some areas, especially north and west of I-95 are below freezing, causing icy spots. Temperatures everywhere will rise above freezing this morning, reaching the upper 40s to around 50. Showers will likely continue off and on into the afternoon before clearing out this evening.

High pressure builds in tonight and slides off the coast tomorrow. As a result, expect partly sunny skies and highs around 50.

A stronger cold front will approach Thursday night, spreading showers into the area by Friday morning. Some of the showers may contain locally gusty winds as well. The showers will continue Friday morning and into the afternoon. The front will likely push through during the afternoon hours, bringing an end to the rain. Highs will be in the upper 50s to around 60.

Becoming sunny today; Warm end to the week

High pressure will build into the area today, pushing out last night’s clipper system and associated clouds. A general 1-2″ fell overnight, ending before dawn. Expect mostly sunny skies today with highs in the mid to upper 40s.

A weak cold front will touch off scattered showers tomorrow afternoon as highs cross the 50 degree mark, ending up in the low 50s.

As high pressure moves off the coast Thursday, southerly flow will bring a bit of moisture into the region, resulting in increased clouds. Highs will be in the low 50s.

A cold front will approach on Friday, strengthening southerly flow ahead of it. Expect highs to reach 60 despite clouds and rain showers through the day. An isolated thunderstorm is also possible during the afternoon hours.
