Baltimore Forecast Shows Early Snowfall Possible in Western Maryland by Saturday

A storm system moving into Maryland this week will bring colder air and precipitation to the region. The National Weather Service forecast indicates that Baltimore residents should expect a shift from mild autumn conditions to a more wintry pattern by the end of the week. This change marks the first significant drop in temperature for the area since early in the season.

The week begins with a cooldown on Monday. Afternoon highs will only reach the upper 50s and lower 60s, accompanied by wind gusts up to 30 mph. By 8 p.m. on Monday, temperatures will fall into the 40s. Overnight lows will settle into the mid to upper 30s by early Tuesday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday will provide a brief reprieve, with highs climbing into the mid to upper 60s under sunny skies.

The weather pattern changes Thursday as a low-pressure system approaches. Light rain and drizzle are expected to begin as early as Thursday afternoon. These unsettled conditions will continue into the weekend. While Baltimore will likely see cold rain, parts of northern and western Maryland are on track for a wintry mix from Friday into Saturday. Higher elevations in western Maryland may record their first measurable snowfall of the season.

Overnight temperatures during the storm could dip into the upper 20s and lower 30s. Daytime highs will remain in the the 40s and lower 50s. Drier conditions are forecast to return early next week, though cold temperatures will persist. Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts as details on the timing of the storm system become clearer.
