Arctic Blast to Bring Colder Temps to Towson

By Deb Belt (Patch Staff)

If you thought Monday’s cold rain was miserable, brace yourselves for crashing temperatures that will follow it.

The National Weather Service says an arctic blast will bring Alaska-like cold to many places in Maryland, including Towson.

Overnight lows in the low- to mid-20s are possible the next three nights, with single-digit wind chills possible Tuesday morning.

Temperatures could be 20 to 25 degrees below normal, the weather service said.

In the Baltimore region the weather service forecast calls for lows of 27 Monday night, 23 on Tuesday and 33 Wednesday. The high Tuesday is expected to be 32, then “warming” to 34 on Wednesday.

The Capital Weather Gang at The Washington Post says this week’s frigid temperatures are considered colder than what we’d see in January. The Southeast Regional Climate Center says our weather will be close to what residents of Minneapolis or Juneau suffer through at this time of year.
