Weather warm-up in Maryland this week ahead of a weekend chance for rain and snow

Our forecast is beginning to thaw as we settle into a new workweek. A front will usher chillier weather back into our forecast by the middle of the week, ahead of what could be another round of unsettled weather this weekend. 

Warmer into the middle of the week across greater Baltimore

Any melting that occurred this afternoon will re-freeze overnight as temperatures drop back into the upper teens and twenties. 

This process will happen over the next few days... melt, then re-freeze, then melt, and re-freeze again. There will be some slick spots during the mornings commutes. Treated roadways should remain wet. The risk of icy spots will be greatest before 10 a.m. each morning. Use some extra caution while walking and driving. 

A front approaches Maryland Tuesday evening, into early Wednesday morning. A few rain showers or a spotty wintry mix may sweep through overnight. No accumulation is expected. 

A shot of colder air arrives Thursday and lingers into Friday. This round won't be nearly as extreme as what we dealt with over the weekend. Temperatures peak in the mid to upper 30s both Thursday and Friday afternoons. A gusty breeze will make it feel even chillier.

Rain and snow are possible in Maryland this holiday weekend

The first half of the weekend looks great for Valentine's Day activities on Saturday. 

Afternoon temperatures peak in the 30s and lower 40s, with a mostly dry forecast. However, changes arrive during the back-half of the weekend. We are watching the possibility of a rain and/or snow mix Saturday night into Sunday. The timing, track, and strength of this storm will determine how much or how little wintry weather we receive from this storm. The First Alert Weather Team is watching this weekend's forecast closely.
