Coastal storm could impact Maryland late this weekend

Maryland will continue to see dry weather through Saturday, but a coastal storm is still a possibility Sunday into Presidents' Day. Rain chances increases through the back-half of the weekend and snow cannot be ruled out. 

Brisk weather in Baltimore through Friday

Today was the mildest day of the workweek.

It'll be chillier through Wednesday evening, compared to Tuesday evening. Temperatures will drop back below freezing overnight. Whatever melted Wednesday afternoon could re-freeze overnight, especially on untreated surfaces. A few slick spots are possible through the morning commute. 

Thursday will be a bit colder, with breezy winds. We'll top-out in the mid to upper 30s in many neighborhoods around 4 p.m., but when you factor in the gusty northwest wind it feel like it's below freezing. A few slick spots are possible again on Friday morning. Sunshine sends temperatures back into the upper 30s and lower 40s on Friday afternoon. The breeze will also be a bit calmer on Friday. It won't feel quite as chilly as Thursday. 

Rain and snow are possible in Maryland this weekend

The first half of the weekend continues to look wonderful for Valentine's Day plans on Saturday! 

Saturday's forecast includes plenty of sunshine and afternoon temperatures peaking in the 40s to lower 50s across the state. Dry weather will continue into Saturday.

The WJZ First Alert Weather Team is watching the possibility of widespread rain, that could begin as or mix with snow as a storm system passes just to our south. The timing, track, and strength of this storm will determine how much or how little wintry weather we see in Maryland. If you have outdoor plans on Sunday, now is a good time to go ahead and think about a 'plan b' as the chance of needed rain is increasing. The chance of wet, possibly snowy, weather peaks Sunday afternoon and evening. 

Stay tuned for updates from the First Alert Weather Team.
