Two rounds of snow expected in Maryland this weekend
Happy Saturday, Maryland!
Another round of snow moves in tonight into Sunday, as well.
Saturday snow
Snow started before daybreak on Saturday and moved out around midday into the early afternoon.
Accumulations in most spots will be light, but thanks to heavier bands of snow, some areas saw up to 3 inches on Saturday morning. There were a number of locations that didn't see any snow, mainly south of I-95.
Some sunshine could break through this afternoon. High temperatures this afternoon will get close to 40 degrees, which will start to melt some of the snow.
Tonight, temperatures cool to near and subfreezing, so some refreeze is possible.
Sunday snow
Speaking of tonight, we'll also be watching another round of snow and rain that moves in early on Sunday morning.
Tomorrow has been tagged as a WJZ First Alert Weather Day. The snow will continue into the afternoon and, for some in Maryland, farther south and east, this round will start as rain before transitioning over to snow later on. Northern zones will start as snow.
Snow showers continue in Maryland into the evening before drying out. Southern Maryland and the lower Eastern Shore will see the snow moving out last of all. Temperatures on Sunday will also be colder versus Saturday.
Dangerous cold to start the week
Once Sunday's snow moves out, our attention turns to dangerous cold that settles in during the early part of the week.
Monday night and Tuesday night both features temperatures that fall into the teens. The early part of the week will also be on the windier side. Combining the low temperatures and stronger winds, wind chills will fall to either side of zero degrees. Some subzero wind chills are possible in our northernmost zones.
Tuesday during the day will also be cold. High temperatures Tuesday afternoon only peak in the 20s before you factor in the winds.
Temperatures do warm up by the end of the week but it also comes with another chance for wintry weather around Thursday.
