Maryland Weather: Biting cold through Saturday, milder Sunday
BALTIMORE –Blustery, bright, and biting cold weather continues through tonight. The cold eases Sunday as highs reach the 50s.
The arctic airmass that arrived Thursday has settled into the area. Along with the cold air comes a blustery wind that will continue into the early evening hours. This means wind-chills stay in the 20s for most of this Friday, despite plenty of sunshine. Highs today will reach the middle to upper 30s, but we’ll never feel that warm with the wind.
Weekend Outlook
High pressure is control of our weather this weekend. This means we’ll stay dry both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will be the colder half of the weekend with a winter feel and highs near 40°. The position of the high pressure center shifts east on Sunday allowing us to turn milder during the afternoon. Expect sunshine mixing with high clouds and highs in the lower to middle 50s.
Next Week: Warming Trend & Rain Chances
We enjoy a much milder start to next week as we get a chance to thaw out and enjoy highs in the 50s & 60s. We’ll have two rounds of rain to track. The first storm system will arrive on Monday with showers and even a period of rain. Highs will top out in the middle 50s. Monday’s rain will exit Monday night allowing for a mainly cloudy, quiet, and unseasonably mild Tuesday. Tuesday’s highs will reach the middle to upper 60s.
A stronger cold front approaches Wednesday bringing us a round of steadier rain and gusty winds. Wednesday is our last mild afternoon with highs in the middle 50s. As the cold front crosses the area Wednesday evening and night, rain may briefly change to a rain/snow mix or wet snow. As of now, no significant accumulations are likely, but we’ll continue to monitor the situation.
Late Week Chill
The weather quickly dries out next Thursday and Friday, but cold and blustery weather returns. Expect highs back in the 30s & 40s.
Police said Dequan Gravely, 23, of Charles County, was driving northbound on Route 210 near Pine Drive when his Mercedes collided with the school bus turning left from the southbound lanes.
The driver of a car involved in a crash with a Prince George’s County school bus in Accokeek, Maryland, on Friday has been identified.
Prince George’s County police said Dequan Gravely, 23, of Bryans Road in Charles County, was driving northbound on Route 210 near Pine Drive around 7:20 a.m. when his Mercedes collided with the school bus turning left from the southbound lanes.
Investigators said the crash happened in the intersection, causing the school bus to flip onto its side. Gravely died at the scene.
The school bus driver was transported to a hospital and treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police said no students were on the bus at the time of the crash.
Investigators said they believe debris from the collision damaged a third vehicle. The driver of that vehicle “declined medical attention,” police said.
The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 301-731-4422.

A D.C. man won $5 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket in Maryland last week, and the matching number that netted him the prize happened to be his age.
Talk about a birthday surprise! A D.C. man won $5 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket in Maryland last week, and the matching number that netted him the prize happened to be his age.
Maurice Williams, a school bus driver in D.C., claimed the first top prize on a $5,000,000 LUXE scratch-off. He had used his $50 winnings from a previous LUXE scratch-off ticket to buy a new one the next day.
In a release from the Maryland Lottery, Williams said he didn’t know he had won until he scanned the ticket: “It’s crazy because the matching number was 59 and I just turned 59 the other day.”
Williams said he sat in shock for a while before calling his mother.
He said he plans to buy his mother a house with the winnings and then save up.
Two more top prizes from the scratch-off have yet to be claimed, the Maryland Lottery said, as well as nine $200,000 prizes, 10 $50,000 prizes and thousands of prizes ranging from $50 to $10,000.
