Your First 'Spring' Forecast: Maryland Weather

If you're looking at the calendar, winter is officially behind us. It's the first day of spring. If you're looking at the weather forecast for Maryland, we're not quite there yet.

For most of the region, "snow" is still in the forecast as temperatures fall at, or just below, freezing Sunday night. Monday? Windy and cool.

But, on the other side of that chilling news, spring will actually start springing.
