Baltimore, Maryland – Temperatures surged into the 60s across much of Maryland, Virginia and the D.C. region Saturday afternoon, marking a mild close to meteorological winter.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office, widespread readings reached the mid to upper 60s by mid-afternoon, with several locations reporting 67 to 69 degrees. The update was shared on the agency’s official Facebook page around 3 p.m. Saturday, accompanied by a regional temperature map.
Forecasters said minimal cloud cover is expected heading into the evening hours. Overnight temperatures are projected to settle into the mid-50s to low-60s across most areas — well above typical late-February averages.
The warmer conditions follow a generally mild end to February across the Mid-Atlantic. No hazardous weather was noted in the update, and no advisories or warnings were issued at the time of publication.
The above-average temperatures may be noticeable for commuters, students and outdoor workers wrapping up weekend activities, though officials did not indicate any safety concerns tied to the warmth.
The National Weather Service has not indicated any immediate severe weather threats, but residents are encouraged to monitor official updates for changing conditions as the region transitions into March.
