Brace yourselves, Baltimore—it’s another cold and gusty day ahead. According to the National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC, mountain snow showers are set to persist throughout the afternoon as yet another disturbance sweeps through the area. Highs are going to barely make it into the low 40s east of the Blue Ridge, while the mountains are expected to stay below freezing.
For motorists, there’s an advisory to watch out for slick spots until the snow showers wind down later this morning. And for those brave enough to venture out this afternoon, especially along and west of the continental divide, be ready to rapidly adjust to any snow squalls that might develop. Meanwhile, high pressure is rushing in to dry things up for Saturday with a forecast promising clear skies and the coldest temps during this stretch that are most likely tonight with mid-teens to low 20s across the area, claims the National Weather Service.

Uncertainty clouds the forecast regarding the exact timing of this precipitation and how quickly the dry air at the surface will relent to wetter conditions. Travelers have been advised to keep a close eye on the updates as Sunday approaches—conditions could get messy…
