Maryland Weather 3/7 Morning - Thunderstorms

Good morning. Maryland. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel it. That heavy, damp air wrapping around you like a wet wool blanket. We're sitting at 44 degrees under gray skies, but don't let the quiet fool you. This is the calm before a serious weather ride. Western Maryland is already heating up, hitting 62 degrees this afternoon. Thunderstorms are bubbling up there—yes, in March. Meanwhile. Central Maryland is stuck in the fog at 52 degrees. And Baltimore is sitting in the middle at 55 with that same stubborn low cloud. Tonight brings the drama. A powerful storm system rolls in after 7 PM, packing heavy rain and thunderstorms statewide. Western Maryland gets hit first—storms are likely by 8 PM—bringing strong winds and localized downpours. The severe threat stays west of I-81, but everyone sees the rain. In Here's bizarre part, temperatures rise overnight. We hit our lows around noon tomorrow, then climb as warm air floods in. Sunday starts wet but ends sunny, with highs surging into the 60s and 70s. Then comes the torch. Monday through Wednesday, we're talking 70s and 80s—Tuesday could hit 76 degrees out west. But A cold front slams the door Thursday, dropping us 30 degrees in 24 hours. We go from 78 on Wednesday to 34 Thursday night, with rain changing to snow in the mountains. If you're heading out tonight, keep that umbrella handy. See you this afternoon.
