Spotty rain and snow showers sweep through Maryland on Tuesday night

Plan on a brisk evening across central Maryland. A chance of hit-or-miss rain and snow showers arrives tonight, followed by a greater chance of needed rain on Thursday and a chance of wintry weather next week. 

Few showers sweep through Maryland tonight

Temperatures will settle back into the upper 20s and lower 30s by late evening across central Maryland, greater Baltimore and the eastern shore. The forecast remains dry across our area through 10 p.m. 

A quick-hitting system will bring scattered rain and snow showers to central Maryland and greater Baltimore Tuesday night through early Wednesday morning. The chance of seeing a few snowflakes peaks between 2 and 8 a.m. across our area. 

No significant accumulation, nor impacts are expected. 

Temperatures warm behind this storm system. Plan on Wednesday afternoon temperatures peaking in the upper 40s and lower 50s. 

Another storm system impacts Maryland Thursday

An Alert Day is possible due to potential for steady rain slowing the evening commute. Some wintry weather is also possible, mainly north of Baltimore across southern Pennsylvania. 

However, the exact track of this storm system will determine how much rain Baltimore sees. There is still some uncertainty with just how wet Thursday will be around here. It's possible that parts of the state could see more than half an inch of rain. This would put another dent in the ongoing drought. 

Stay with the First Alert Weather Team for updates.

We dry out and warm up for the final weekend of February. Colder, possibly, wintry weather may return to the Mid-Atlantic next week.
