Baltimore, MD – A rainy Monday kicks off a week of shifting weather in Maryland, with snow and freezing temperatures likely by midweek. Residents in the Baltimore area should prepare for heavy rain today, followed by a dramatic drop in temperatures as a cold front moves in.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will bring steady rain through the afternoon, with highs near 50 degrees. A brief reprieve from the rain is expected Tuesday, though heavy rain is forecast to return by Tuesday night. Temperatures will climb to a high of 61 on Tuesday before plummeting Wednesday night.
Snow chances increase Wednesday as colder air pushes into the region. The higher elevations in western Maryland, including the Alleghenies, are most likely to see accumulating snow. Baltimore residents could see flurries or a wintry mix, depending on the timing of the cold air. Highs Wednesday will reach 62 but will drop into the 30s by evening, creating icy conditions overnight.
Thursday and Friday will bring a sharp chill, with daytime highs struggling to reach 40 and overnight lows dipping into the teens. Sunshine is expected Thursday and Friday, but bitter cold will dominate, making outdoor conditions uncomfortable.
Motorists should prepare for potentially slick roads later this week, especially on key routes such as I-83 and I-95. Local officials encourage residents to monitor updates, keep extra layers on hand, and check vehicles for winter readiness.
Looking ahead, the region will stay chilly into the weekend, with partly sunny skies expected Saturday.
