BALTIMORE — Good Thursday night!
We’ve got a few noticeable weather changes coming our way over the next several days. The big three to know about:
• Snow flurries Friday evening
• Strong, gusty winds on Saturday
• A blast of frigid air this weekend
A fast-moving clipper system will swing through Friday evening, bringing the chance for some light snow mainly between about 5 PM and midnight. This system doesn’t have much moisture to work with, and most of it won’t make it over the mountains into the I-95 corridor. Because of that, little to no accumulation is expected.
Once those flurries move out, much colder air moves in. High temperatures this weekend will struggle to get out of the teens and low 20s, and with the wind, it’s going to feel even colder. Wind chills will drop below zero at times, especially on Saturday — which may end up feeling like the coldest day of the winter so far.
And speaking of the wind… wind alerts are already up for parts of Maryland, where gusts could top 50 mph at times. That could lead to a few isolated power outages, so it’s a good idea to be prepared just in case. Downed trees and branches are also possible, and anyone driving high-profile vehicles like trucks or vans should use extra caution.
The good news? This cold doesn’t stick around forever. Temperatures rebound into the 40s by the middle of next week.
Take care!
