Maryland Weather 3/7 Morning - Foggy Morning, Sunny Afternoon

Good morning. Maryland. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel it right away. That damp, heavy air is clinging to everything. It's a classic early March standoff where winter and spring can't decide who's in charge. We're sitting at 39 degrees under a thick blanket of gray—the same temp we hit overnight. But don't let the quiet fool you. This is just the calm before the weather gets interesting. We're seeing a massive temperature split statewide right now. Western Maryland is already waking up to 66 degrees—yes, you heard that right—while Baltimore and Central Maryland are hovering in the low 50s, wrapped in dense fog. That fog is stubborn. A dense fog advisory lingers out west until 10 A.M., where visibility could drop to a quarter mile or less. If you're driving early, slow down and keep those low beams on. The fog burns off by late morning, but keep the umbrella handy. Light rain moves in this afternoon. The highest chance is out west. The real soaker arrives tonight. Rain is likely after 7 P.M., peaking around 4 A.M. Sunday. You'll see about a a chance in Baltimore and closer to out west. In Here's strange part, temperatures are rising overnight. Baltimore climbs from 52 degrees at 7 P.M. To 62 by 5 A.M. Sunday. Central Maryland jumps from 51 to 59. It's like the state's thermostat got stuck on warm. Sunday brings a brief reprieve with highs in the 60s and low 70s. Then comes the rollercoaster. Monday and Tuesday stay sunny and warm, with highs near 77. But Wednesday brings a sharp reality check. A strong cold front slams in, dropping Western Maryland to 31 degrees Thursday night. That's a 47-degree swing from Tuesday's high. We're gaining daylight fast today—adding 2 minutes and 34 seconds—with sunrise at 6:31 A.M. and sunset at 6:06 P.M. The spring equinox is just 13 days away. And clearly, the weather is practicing her mood swings. Layer up this morning, but keep that rain jacket within reach. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
