Maryland – A sharp chill hangs over the Inner Harbor this morning, with temperatures near 35 degrees under clear skies. The water looks calm, but the air carries a late winter bite.
Sunshine dominates today and pushes highs to near 59 degrees. Light winds turn southerly this afternoon, giving Baltimore a brief spring tease. Sidewalk cafés and parks will feel inviting for a few hours.
