Baltimore Braces For Colder Temperatures, Possible Wintry Weather This Week

Baltimore and much of Maryland will experience a mix of sunshine, warmer temperatures and a return to winter-like conditions as the week progresses.

Monday will bring cooler, breezy weather as another push of cold air moves into the region. Afternoon highs will reach the upper 50s to lower 60s, with wind gusts occasionally reaching 30 mph.

Temperatures will drop quickly Monday evening, falling into the 40s by 8 p.m. Overnight lows will settle into the mid to upper 30s by early Tuesday morning.

Tuesday is expected to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 60s. Pleasant conditions will continue Wednesday, bringing plenty of sunshine and afternoon highs in the mid-60s.

However, a noticeable change in the forecast is expected toward the end of the week.

A storm system approaching Maryland will bring colder temperatures and increasing chances for precipitation Thursday into Friday. Light rain and drizzle could begin as early as Thursday afternoon, with chilly, unsettled conditions continuing into the weekend.

While Baltimore is most likely to experience cold rain, parts of northern and western Maryland could see a wintry mix Friday into Saturday. Higher elevations in western Maryland may even receive their first measurable snowfall of the season.

Looking ahead, overnight temperatures could dip into the upper 20s and lower 30s, while daytime highs remain in the 40s to lower 50s.

Drier conditions are expected to return early next week, although colder temperatures will stick around.

Residents are encouraged to monitor the forecast as the timing and potential impacts of the approaching storm system become clearer.
