Low moves into New England, continuing rain chances

Current Surface Map
The area of low pressure that brought over an inch of much needed rain to the area yesterday will continue moving north into New England and will continue to bring heavy wet snow to the mountains and showers into Central Maryland. Additionally, strong northwest winds will develop on the backside of the storm. The combination of heavy snow and strong winds will cause damage to tree limbs and power lines in Western Maryland.

Highs in western Maryland will be in the 30s, further east highs will struggle into the upper 40s.

Decreasing clouds today

Current Surface Map
After a foggy start, high pressure will continue to move into the region today allowing for clearing skies and sunshine by this afternoon. Highs today will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

A low pressure system and cold front will approach the area tomorrow, enhancing southerly flow and allowing temperatures to warm into the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Clouds increase Friday night as the front nears, and scattered showers and thunderstorms will affect the state on Saturday. Latest model trends have the front clearing the area Saturday night causing the low pressure system that forms along it to track east of the area, decreasing the threat of heavy rain on Sunday and Monday. If this scenario plays out, there would still be a slight chance of rain, and it would be much lighter.

Showers today, heavier rain still possible this weekend

Current Surface Map
Showers associated with an area of low pressure are moving into the area from the southwest. Expect light rain to continue off and on through the day and into tonight. Highs today will be in the low 60s under cloudy skies.

Skies clear tomorrow, as high pressure builds in from the north. Expect temperatures to reach the upper 60s to near 70 under mostly sunny skies.

High pressure moves off the coast on Friday, allowing southerly flow to increase, driving temperatures back up into the mid to upper 70s under sunny skies. Clouds increase Friday night as another, a cold front and larger storm system moves in for the weekend.

Cooler stretch… rainy weekend on tap

Current Surface Map
A weak cold front will cross the state this morning, bringing in cooler air tomorrow and Thursday. Highs today will manage to get into the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.

The front will stall just to our south tomorrow, as low pressure forms over the Carolinas. This will bring a chance of showers to the area tomorrow and tomorrow night. With extensive clouds and northeasterly flow, highs tomorrow will struggle into the low 60s.

Sunny and warm through the weekend

Current Surface Map
As high pressure moves off the coast today, southerly flow around it will set up and begin to pump warmer air into the region. Highs today will push into the mid 60s and will rise into the mid 70s tomorrow and low 80s on Sunday. The high will also continue the stretch of dry weather through the weekend.

As a strong area of low pressure moves into the center of the country, the southerly flow will increase and temperatures will rise into the mid 80s on Monday and Tuesday.

Cloudy and cooler today

Current Surface Map
A cold front has cleared the area, ushering in much cooler air and breezy conditions. Today’s highs will be right around 50 degrees under cloudy skies. There is also a slight chance of an afternoon shower as a piece of energy moves through the area. Out on the ridge tops, it will be cold enough for snow, and up to 2 inches is possible at the highest locations.

Winds will subside tonight as high pressure builds in, setting the stage for an unseasonably chilly night. A Freeze Watch is in effect for counties northwest of I-95 and Freeze Warnings are in effect for far Western Maryland. Lows will range from the upper 30s across the metro area, to upper 20s in Western Maryland.

Mostly Sunny and breezy again today

Current Surface Map
As an area of low pressure continues to build over eastern Canada, dry and windy conditions will continue across the area. Expect highs today to be in the upper 60s with wind gusts to near 30 mph this afternoon. As a result of the continued dry and windy conditions, a Red Flag Warning remains in effect for the state. A Red Flag Warning means that the combination of strong winds, low humidity and warm temperatures will create “explosive fire growth potential.”

The low begins to move south towards our area tonight, it will help drag cooler air into the area. Lows tonight will drop to near 40 in the cities and to near freezing north and west.

Slight chance of a shower this evening

Current Surface Map

Today will be partly sunny, with highs in the upper 60s.  It will be breezy, with wind gusts to near 30mph this afternoon.

Another disturbance will move through on Wednesday, bringing another chance of showers and more gusty winds.  Highs will again top out in the upper 50s.

Sunny and cool through this weekend

Current Surface Map

Today will be sunny and breezy at times, with highs in the upper 50s to around 60.

Tonight, temperatures will fall back into the upper 20s across Northern and Western Maryland, lower to mid 30s for Central and Southern Maryland.

Sunny and cool stretch continues

Current Surface Map
High pressure building in from the north will help push a strong storm system to the south and away from the area. It will also continue the dry and sunny conditions through the weekend.

Today will be mostly sunny with highs around 60. Temperatures will drop into the 30s tonight, but a light wind should help keep frost from forming in most areas.
