Snow and slush expected over this weekend
The weather pattern that brought snow and ice across Maryland this week is forecast to resume this weekend, bringing light snow and likely some slush around the Baltimore region. An atmospheric disturbance is forecast to produce snow showers starting early Saturday morning, tapering off in the afternoon. The National Weather Service predicts an inch or less of accumulation around Baltimore and 1-2 inches to the north and west. Sleet and freezing rain are not forecast to be a threat from the system, but some areas could see rain. Temperatures are forecast to be in the mid-30s Saturday morning, reaching the upper 30s by the afternoon. Then, another chance for wintry precipitation is forecast Sunday afternoon or evening. That precipitation is forecast to be lighter than Saturday’s, but it could come in the form of snow or freezing rain, meteorologists said. Temperatures are forecast to reach the upper 30s Sunday afternoon, so the type of precipitation will depend on when the system arrives and how quickly temperatures fall.
