Two storm systems will impact Maryland later this week

The big thaw continues across Maryland, but it comes with lots of clouds, haze and rounds of dense fog. It'll be a battle between warmer weather and chilly air trying to sneak south from New England heading into mid-week. Two separate storm systems may impact Maryland late in the week. 

Gradual warming across Maryland through Thursday

Clouds will thicken through the evening and another round of fog is expected in many areas tonight, with temperatures cooling back into the mid and upper 30s across the region.

Wednesday begins with fog, gloomy and temperatures in the mid to upper 30s around sunrise. 

Temperatures continue to gradually warm heading into mid-week. In this weather setup, there can be a large range in temperatures across the state. Cecil County would be chilliest with temperatures staying in the upper 40s, while parts of Maryland closer to the Potomac River and southern Maryland could soar well into the 60s on Wednesday afternoon. 

At this time, the most reasonable scenario is for Baltimore to reach the lower 50s Wednesday and Thursday for a high temperature. Spotty to scattered rain showers will sweep through Wednesday afternoon and evening. 

Tracking two potential storms ahead in the Baltimore metro

The first system brings scattered showers as early as Thursday afternoon, followed by a steadier rain Thursday night into Friday morning. Temperatures are forecast to remain warm enough to prevent any winter weather in our area.

Temperatures will peak in the upper 40s and lower 50s on Thursday afternoon, ahead of the wettest weather. It'll remain chillier on Friday; staying in the 40s in most areas.

Saturday appears to be the pick day of the weekend. Though it may not be a ten-out-of-ten. There is still some uncertainty on timing of the next storm system as a parade of storms marches across the country. 

Another storm system may approach Maryland late in the weekend just as colder air blows in. A wintry mix or snow is possible in our region Sunday, into next Monday. Considering this is several days away, there is still quite a bit of forecast uncertainty. Winter weather is not yet certain across Baltimore. Either way, it'll feel much more wintry into early next week.
