Baltimore, get ready—winter is about to remind us who’s boss. If you were enjoying the slightly milder temps, don’t get too comfortable. This weekend, we’re in for a messy mix of snow, sleet, and rain, and it’s only the beginning. More winter weather is lined up for next week, so keep those heavy coats handy!
Weekend Weather: A Slushy Mess Ahead
Saturday will start off calm and cloudy with temperatures reaching 47°F, which might make you think winter is easing up. But by Sunday morning, snow will start falling before quickly turning into sleet and freezing rain. That means icy roads, slippery sidewalks, and potential travel headaches. Highs will be in the mid-30s, dropping to around 30°F overnight, making untreated surfaces extra dangerous.
More Snow Coming Next Week—Don’t Put Away That Shovel Yet!
If you were hoping for a break, you’re out of luck. Tuesday looks like a big snow day, with 2 to 4 inches expected by the evening. That means slow commutes, possible school delays, and another round of shoveling.
- Monday: Cloudy with highs in the mid-40s. A calm day before the storm.
- Tuesday: Snow starts late morning and sticks around all day. Temps hover around freezing, so expect slick conditions.
- Wednesday: A little leftover snow in the morning, then clearing up. But roads could still be icy!
Code Blue Alert: What You Need to Know
With freezing temps in the forecast, Baltimore has activated a Code Blue Alert through mid-March. This means:
- More shelter space for those who need warmth
- Warming centers open across the city
- Extra help for at-risk residents
If you or someone you know needs assistance, call 410-396-5555 for shelter info and resources.
Stay Safe & Be Ready
- Limit travel when roads are icy—stay in if you can!
- Check on elderly neighbors and those without heat.
- Bundle up—the wind chill will make it feel even colder.
Winter is far from over, Baltimore, so keep your snow boots ready. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep an eye on that forecast!
