Baltimore, Maryland – Residents across Maryland and the D.C. region are in for a frigid night as temperatures dip into the mid-teens, with wind chills dropping even lower in higher elevations. The National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington warns that mountain areas could see single-digit or near-zero wind chills by early Thursday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will range from around 11°F in Westminster and Hagerstown to near 20°F in Fredericksburg and Lexington Park. Western Maryland communities like Oakland and Cumberland could see lows closer to the single digits, with the wind making conditions feel significantly colder.
Officials urge residents to limit outdoor exposure, check on elderly neighbors, and ensure pets are brought indoors. Drivers are also advised to watch for icy patches on bridges and rural roads during the early morning commute.
The cold spell will linger through the weekend as another surge of Arctic air moves in, potentially keeping highs below freezing for several days. Wind chills will remain a concern for much of the region into early next week.
Warnings remain in effect through Thursday morning, with continued updates expected as temperatures fall further this weekend.
