Summary
- Temperatures will swing from the upper 80s to the 50s and 40s.
- Rain is likely on Easter Sunday, potentially impacting outdoor plans.
- Warm summer-like conditions expected Saturday, with near-record highs.
Maryland is set for a stark temperature contrast, experiencing a dramatic swing from upper 80s to the low 50s and even feeling like the 40s. This comes as a cold front moved through the region. Chilly, overcast conditions with a brisk wind are expected to persist.
Looking ahead, a warm front will lift north, bringing temporary gloomy weather Friday morning. This will give way to sunshine and a significant warm-up, with temperatures reaching the low 80s by Friday afternoon.
Saturday promises very warm, summery conditions ahead of another cold front. Highs are predicted to be near the record of 86°, making it the ideal day for outdoor activities, though isolated showers are possible Saturday night.
Easter Sunday is flagged as a potential First Alert Weather Day with widespread rain and a few storms expected, particularly from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. While 0.25" to 0.50" of rain is forecast, severe weather or widespread flooding is not anticipated.
Following Easter, a brief but potent chilly snap is expected from Monday through Wednesday of the following week, before temperatures begin to rise again.
