Biting cold weather continues in Maryland through Tuesday

Tuesday will be another very cold day across Maryland. Despite sunshine, high temperatures will only climb into the middle 30s (our normal high temperature is close to 50°). This is after a very cold morning with many neighborhoods starting with wind chills in the single digits to teens. Thankfully, winds won't be as aggressive Tuesday out of the south-southeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Briefly milder Wednesday, Thursday

The weather turns briefly turns milder Wednesday and Thursday as high temperatures recover into the middle to upper 40s. Wednesday will be the mildest day with highs in the upper 40s with plenty of cloud cover. An isolated shower or two is possible Wednesday, but these showers would be rain and not snow. Winds pick up again on Wednesday with gusts 25-30 mph. 

Thursday will be blustery and chilly with highs in the lower 40s with the return of sunshine. The good news is we'll have plenty of sunshine throughout the day, but winds will be blustery and cold again - out of the west-northwest at 15-20 mph with gusts over 30 mph. 

Wintry weather possible late this week

Winter weather may become an issue Thursday night into Friday, but more likely Friday into Saturday as a fast-moving storm moves in from the west. This could bring snow or a wintry mix to the area. Highs on Friday will top out in the middle to upper 30s.

Some leftover wintry weather is possible into early Saturday morning before skies clear. Another reinforcing shot of cold will arrive Sunday with highs only reaching the lower 30s. We may need to watch out for a brief period of wintry weather Saturday night into early Sunday before that next shot of painfully cold air arrives. 

This is a fast paced weather pattern with multiple chances of wintry weather in the extended forecast, so it's important that you keep checking back in for updates.
