Wintry Mix Possible In MD This Weekend: See Latest Timing, Forecast

MARYLAND — Cold temperatures will persist the next couple of days before an incoming warm front could bring a mix of wintry weather to the Baltimore area late this weekend, according to forecasts.

Friday will be cold and cloudy at times with temperatures reaching 40 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The mercury won't change much on Saturday, but skies will be brighter before temperatures dip to 30 degrees overnight.

By Sunday, a warm front moving into the state could lead to a period of wintry mix including some light ice accumulation along and west of the Blue Ridge. While colder rain is expected east of the Blue Ridge to the Baltimore metro, there is a chance of sleet and snow between 1-4 p.m., the NWS said.

Looking ahead, forecasters with the Capital Weather Gang said Marylanders can look forward to some unseasonably high temperatures. Rain and lots of clouds are also possible.

"Temperatures Monday may be held back — by relatively higher rain chances — to within a few degrees of 55," the Capital Weather Gang said. "Sunnier skies and semi-warm winds by Tuesday afternoon may push temperatures into the 60s. Rain amounts look moderate at most."

Here's a look at the Baltimore area forecast through Sunday night:

Friday: Partly sunny, with a high near 40. North wind 3 to 5 mph.
