Chilly weather returns to Maryland through Wednesday

A sunny morning sky has given way to more clouds across Maryland this afternoon. Temperatures have warmed into the upper 50s and 60s in many areas. Clouds will increase a bit more through early evening. 

A reinforcing shot of colder air will arrive with a chance of sprinkles and spotty rain showers; mainly after 6 p.m. Temperatures drop back into the upper 30s and lower 40s in many neighborhoods by sunrise on Tuesday morning. 

Tuesday will feature plenty of sunshine. But, it will be chillier. Temperatures only peak in the low to mid-50s on Tuesday afternoon. Breezy winds will make it feel even chillier. It'll trend even colder on Tuesday night. A widespread freeze is likely by Wednesday morning across most of Maryland.  Temperatures plunge into the mid and upper 20s outside of the Baltimore Beltway and closer to 30° in the city. 

Cool sunshine continues through Thursday, ahead of warmer weather. 

Nice spring weekend weather in Baltimore 

The second weekend of April looks to be another winner! There is a chance of brief light rain on Saturday. Aside from that, the forecast looks great for plans. Temperatures peak in the mid-70s on Saturday and closer to  70° on Sunday.

Much warmer weather moves into Maryland next workweek.
