Maryland Weekend Weather Forecast: Snow on Sunday? Forecast May Not Be Done With Surprises
The forecast suggests that snow could make an appearance one last time, albeit briefly.
SILVER SPRING, MD — Yes, temperatures are expected to warm back up very soon, starting this Saturday as they creep back into the 50s. But that doesn't mean Maryland won't see one last lingering snow shower as winter's final act.
A new forecast from the National Weather Forecast suggests that we may see a dusting of snow early Sunday morning, although if you don't wake up before 8 a.m., you may not even know it happened.
But the inevitable march of spring will continue next week, wiping out any patches of snow that remain on the ground and bringing surviving cherry blossoms to full bloom. Temperatures are expected to linger in the high 50s to around 60 for the next week or so, and with April right around the corner, they're likely to stay there.
