Monday and Tuesday are WJZ First Alert Weather Days for Maryland.
A few rain showers and much stronger winds will accompany a strong cold front Monday morning. It will sweep through the Baltimore area between 9 and 11 a.m. Winds will gust between 45 and 55 mph across much of the region Monday afternoon and evening as temperatures drop through the 40s and back into the 30s. In Baltimore, the temperature will be around 58° later in the morning, dropping to near 35° by 7 p.m.
Get ready for a pretty wacky next 24-hours of weather. Breeze picks up as temperatures warm overnight. Warmest Monday morning… bitter cold and howling winds spread into Maryland through the afternoon.
