NOAA Weather Update: A Weekend of Changing Conditions for Baltimore
Baltimore residents can expect a dynamic weather pattern this weekend, according to the latest NOAA weather reports. Friday begins with rain, but a shift towards milder temperatures is anticipated by the afternoon. However, don’t pack away those winter coats just yet – more rain is on the horizon, potentially transitioning into accumulating snow later in the weekend.
Friday: From Rain to Mild Temperatures
The good news is that Friday’s rain won’t linger all day. Conditions should improve before noon, giving way to a dry and noticeably milder afternoon. Most of the Baltimore metropolitan area is forecast to warm into the 50s, with temperatures potentially rising even higher where the sun breaks through the clouds.
A significant temperature gradient is expected across the region. Areas southwest of Baltimore, closer to Washington, D.C., could experience spring-like temperatures nearing 60 degrees. Conversely, the cooling influence of the Chesapeake Bay may keep northeast Maryland stuck in the 40s.
Saturday: A Brief Respite
Saturday promises a dry and mild day, offering a welcome break from the unsettled weather. However, this tranquility is short-lived.
Sunday & Monday: A Stormy Combination – Rain and Snow
A large storm system is set to move through on Sunday, continuing a recurring pattern observed in recent weeks. The current forecast indicates a mix of rain and snow is most likely. Temperatures will remain above freezing during the day, but a significant drop is expected overnight.
Any snow accumulation is most probable Sunday evening into Monday morning, when temperatures are at their coldest. The current prediction for the Baltimore area is 2-3 inches of snow. However, the exact amount remains uncertain.
- Less than 1 inch: If the storm system weakens and warms.
- 2-3 inches: The most likely scenario for the Baltimore area.
- 6+ inches: Possible if the storm system strengthens and becomes colder (less likely).
This forecast is subject to change, so staying informed is crucial. You can find more detailed information on the National Weather Service website.
