Maryland Weather: Rain Late Sunday, Western Maryland Snow

BALTIMORE --  Expect these chilly conditions to persist Saturday night until Sunday, with temperatures starting off in the 20s early Sunday as a frontal system approaches. It will be a mixed bag of precipitation Sunday, with snow, sleet and ice possible for western Maryland, and moderate rainfall for the Baltimore metro area. 

A winter storm warning is in place for western Maryland Sunday morning through Monday morning. Up to a half foot (6 inches) of snow is possible along with some sleet pellets and potential ice accumulations on the roadways. That precipitation will encounter warmer air as it moves eastward, changing it to rain as it approaches the Baltimore metro area.  

Rainy End to Weekend. Midweek Warmup.

Another fast moving storm brings scattered rainfall Monday evening into early Tuesday. This system will bring warmer air to the region with clearing skies for Tuesday afternoon. Afternoon highs will be in the 50s Monday and then 60s Tuesday. Expect sunshine Tuesday afternoon. 

Warmer Weather Then More Rain

Stronger winds also develop on Tuesday - we're looking at sustained winds 10-20 mph and gusting higher. Another fast moving frontal system approaches for Wednesday night, bringing another round of rainfall to the region.

Cooling Down Midweek

Temperatures will cool again toward the middle and end of next week. Highs on Wednesday are expected near 50 degrees, dropping into the 40s for Thursday and Friday.

Rain and Possible Snowflakes Late Next Week

After the Wednesday - Thursday storm exits, temperatures will take a nosedive. At the same time, there is the possibility of a few snowflakes at the tail end of the storm, but right now this doesn't appear to be a big snow maker for us. 

We will continue to monitor the forecast and provide updates as conditions evolve.
