MD Snow Chances Grow For Thursday, Weekend: Latest Forecast

MARYLAND — Light snowfall is likely Thursday in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region, while winter storm watches are in effect for the western mountains, the National Weather Service said Wednesday morning.

Another round of snow is likely over the weekend, which will be followed by bitter cold on Monday with a low in the single digits that night.

On Friday through Sunday, the high temperature should be in the 40s, but the cold will return Sunday night, along with another chance of snow.

The Weather Service said there is a 70 percent chance of rain Saturday, with a mix of rain and snow Sunday morning, switching to a 40 percent of snow that night.

On Monday, the Martin Luther King holiday, the high temperature will top out at 28. That night, look for a low around 9.

A clipper-style storm will spread snow from the Midwest to the central Appalachians Wednesday evening to Thursday night, AccuWeather predicts. Intermittent snow that can coat the ground will fall east of the Appalachians to parts of Interstate 95 in the mid-Atlantic from Thursday afternoon to Thursday night.

A second storm will bring rain along the mid-Atlantic coast to southeastern New England on Saturday. However, due to cold ground temperatures, there may be spotty ice in parts of the Appalachians and Piedmont areas from Friday night to Saturday, according to AccuWeather.
