Maryland is experiencing a dramatic shift in weather this week, transitioning from record-high temperatures in the 80s to severe thunderstorms and now snow.
A cold front that moved through the region on Wednesday night has left much of Central Maryland under a hazardous weather outlook. This front not only brought thunderstorms but also caused power outages across the area.
On Thursday, temperatures began around 57 degrees before sunrise but plummeted to just below freezing by early afternoon. As a result, residents are bracing for continued strong winds and snowfall.
According to Andrew Snyder, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Baltimore/Washington office, little accumulation is expected, with potential slush on grassy and elevated surfaces. He noted that no more than half an inch of snow is anticipated.
Looking ahead, the weather is expected to warm slightly over the weekend, with highs reaching the mid-50s. Friday will be breezy, while Saturday is forecasted to be partly sunny. Despite the colder temperatures compared to earlier in the week, they remain slightly above the average for this time of year, which is typically around 53 degrees for March.
Saturday and Sunday are expected to see highs of 56 and 58 degrees, respectively.
