A WINTER STORM WARNING remains in effect for: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Dorchester, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Kent, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, St. Mary’s, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester counties.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect for: Allegany and Washington counties.


As the latest storm system pulls away from the area, expect areas of light snow or flurries to continue over the next few hours, gradually coming to an end.

The storm generally behaved as expected, except it was colder to start and the area of heavier snow set up farther north than anticipated. Bands of heavy snow set up over central Maryland, greatly increasing snow totals. In general, 5-10″ fell across central and southern Maryland, with lesser amounts to the north. It was a tricky forecast and we certainly got a lot more snow than forecast, thanks to the enhanced banding.

Skies will remain cloudy today and highs will struggle to reach the low 30s.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny with highs in the upper 30s to around 40.

Clouds will increase again tomorrow evening into tomorrow night as a light easterly flow develops. Light drizzle is possible late tomorrow night into Wednesday morning. In some of the colder spots, freezing drizzle is possible as temperatures drop into the low 30s.

The drizzle should come to an end Wednesday morning before shower chances increase again Wednesday afternoon as a cold front approaches. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 40s before dropping off Wednesday evening and night.

Temperatures will climb on Thursday. Highs will be in the mid 50s under mostly sunny skies.

Friday looks to be even warmer, with highs in the low 60s under mostly sunny skies.

Another cold front will push through late Friday night into Saturday, bringing another chance of showers.
