Maryland Weather: Chilly for now but warm up underway
We are finally thawing out from the deep freeze and brutal winds of the last several days. You’ll still need to bundle up, but our winds have eased. And with a full day of sunshine we will reach above freezing temperatures. Temps start today in the teens and low 20s and will moderate through the weekend. Highs reaching the mid 30s and low 40s.
Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 34. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 15. Calm wind.
Temperatures will warm over the next few days as the Arctic high pressure loosens its’ grip. We stay dry through Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds. This warming trend continues into next week with sunny skies greeting for the beginning of the final week of January. Blustery conditions will return at times next week, but with highs remaining well above freezing, we do not return to the uncomfortable and bone chilling conditions. Make your weekend plans with confidence that Mother Nature will cooperate.
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 35. Calm wind becoming southwest 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon.
Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 27. Southwest wind around 5 mph.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 44. West wind 5 to 9 mph.
Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 27.
Enjoy the meltdown but remember that there can still be slick spots as refreezing occurs during the overnight hours until this snowpack dries up.
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.
