BLOG: Hello, Spring!

Even though it's still February, we made it all the way up to 63 degrees Wednesday! That is more typical for April than February. What's even more incredible is that we are going right back into the 60s again Thursday and will probably make it there Friday before the front comes through.

There is a front passing north of us Wednesday night. It could produce some showers on the way through. That front leaves Thursday, but there will still be some clouds around and possibly a shower or two. Then, a much stronger front comes our way Friday.

There could be some rain and maybe even a thunderstorm with Friday's front. The front will pass through early in the day, then the winds will really pick up when it passes. Gusty northwest winds will bring in much cooler air for the weekend. And since the lakes have not really frozen over this year, this weather pattern will create a late season lake-effect snow event. Expect some snow in western Maryland, and we wouldn't be surprised if a few flurries made it all the way down to Carroll or Baltimore County. Expect highs to stay in the 40s Saturday and Sunday, while overnight lows will drop back in the 20s.

Another storm will move our way Monday or Tuesday, but it will also bring a new round of warm air with it. Temperatures will climb back above the average of 47/48 degrees again.
