A Calm Sunday before Dangerous Storms in Maryland on Monday

Our weekend ends with increasing clouds on Sunday after high temperatures reach into the lower 60s. Scattered showers will move in late Sunday through the overnight. 

Strong to Severe storms likely on Monday

An approaching cold front will bring a chance of severe storms from late morning on Monday through the afternoon, before tapering off Monday evening. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma has issued an Enhanced Risk of Severe Weather for Monday to include dangerous thunderstorms, damaging winds, and the possibility of a few strong tornadoes. Monday's high temperatures will reach into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees - setting the stage for ripe conditions to support severe weather. After the strongest storms move out, colder air will settle in with the possibility of a few wet snowflakes before the precipitation tapers off.  

Cooler St. Patrick's Day

Our luck will run out on Tuesday as we will only see high temperatures reach in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees. Temperatures plummet Tuesday overnight with lows dropping down into the mid 20s in most locations.

Winds subside Wednesday but temperatures in the afternoon will once again climb to around 40°.

Thursday into Friday will be gradually warmer. Temperatures by the first day of (astronomical) spring will be near normal: in the mid 50s on Friday.
