Maryland bracing for a return of winter on Monday into Tuesday

 A brief wintry mix will bring a period of light snow and freezing rain for parts of Maryland around midday on Monday and into Tuesday early morning. A quick moving system will bring a chance of snow on Monday afternoon, especially in areas South and West of downtown Baltimore as temperatures only reach into the 30s during the afternoon.  

A short cold spell 

Overnight temperatures will fall into the 20s before a colder day on Monday. Prepare for a day that only climbs into the 30s to start the work week. 

Alert day for Tuesday morning

A few snow showers are possible Monday afternoon south of Baltimore. A better chance for snow develops late Monday into early Tuesday morning. 

Snow will move from south to north through the early morning hours. Some sticking is possible after a colder day on Monday. At some point, snow will transition to freezing rain for some neighborhoods and plain rain for others. This will depend on the temperatures in any given location. The timing of the snow and freezing rain will coincide with the morning commute Tuesday. Things could get slick and messy, especially due to the risk of some icing. 

As the morning progresses, we'll see a changeover to just rain for the entire area. Temperatures on Tuesday warm into the upper 30s to low 40s by the afternoon. 

More spring temperatures

The rest of the week will be a continued warming trend. Wednesday gets into the upper 50s and maybe some low 60s. Thursday and Friday will peak in the mid to upper 60s. Saturday could warm into the low 70s.

These temperatures could be a little lower depending on cloud cover and if we see rain move through. There are low chances for rain from Wednesday into the weekend but no day looks like a complete washout.
