Maryland — Cold air bites early, stiffening fingers and frosting windshields as the city wakes under clear skies. The chill feels sharper near the harbor, where damp air pulls heat fast from exposed skin.
Temperatures hovered near 20 degrees this morning across Baltimore. Winds stay light early, but the cold lingers. Clouds increase through the day, with highs reaching the upper 30s. Roads remain dry for now, though shaded spots could stay slick after sunrise.
Thursday brings a noticeable shift. Sunshine returns, and highs climb near 50 degrees. Snow piles and wet patches melt quickly. That brief thaw matters. Refreezing becomes a concern once temperatures fall again after sunset.
Friday turns colder and grayer. Highs slip back to the upper 30s, then plunge Friday night. Lows drop near 11 degrees, setting the stage for a wintery weekend. Plan errands early and prepare vehicles for cold starts.
Snow chances increase Saturday afternoon and evening. Light snow may begin before sunset, then intensify overnight. By Saturday night, temperatures fall into the teens. Any melting during daylight may flash freeze quickly, creating icy sidewalks and slick roads. Expect reduced visibility and slower travel, especially on I-95, I-83, and the Baltimore Beltway.
Sunday looks wintry and disruptive. Snow remains likely through the day, with highs near 20 degrees. Even small accumulations can cause problems when temperatures stay this low. Give plows time and avoid unnecessary travel if possible.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook keeps below-normal temperatures locked over the Mid-Atlantic. Additional precipitation chances appear next week as cold air holds firm.
