When Will It Snow Again In MD?

MARYLAND — Maryland has received nearly a foot of snow in some areas this winter. When is the next chance of snow in the forecast?

Frigid air is slowing moving out of the state, and snow will melt quickly by Sunday, when the daytime high temperature is expected to reach 43 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be sunny and warmer than normal, with a high expected to flirt with 50 degrees both days.

The agency's 8-14 day precipitation outlook for Jan. 31-Feb. 6 issued Friday says Maryland has a 40 to 50 percent chance of above-normal precipitation during the period. Temperatures during that time should be normal, which is the low 40s, the NWS said.

While the coldest air of the winter has moved out, AccuWeather said more rounds of frigid air from Canada will reach the eastern United States throughout the coming week, along with some snow squalls that can make driving a challenge.

"Reinforcing bursts of cold air will sweep across the northeastern tier of the country from this weekend through the middle of next week," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Reneé Duff said. "Snow showers and gusty winds will accompany each wave of cold air, which can result in reduced visibility for motorists and areas of slippery travel."

In the heaviest snow squalls, visibility on highways can suddenly drop to near zero, and there can be rapid snow accumulation.

Both weather agencies say stay tuned to the forecast late next week to see if conditions change to bring another snow threat.
