Maryland Weather: Cooler air ushers in a return to fall
BALTIMORE — After several days of above-average temperatures, fall weather returns this weekend.
Your Saturday forecast features a mix of sun and clouds with high temperatures in the low 60s. Be sure to have the heavy jacket ready tonight–it’s the coldest in a while with lows dipping into the mid- to upper 30s.
Remember, we fall back tonight as Daylight Saving Time comes to an end at 2 a.m. Sunday. After enjoying maybe an extra hour of sleep, you might be reaching for the heavy coat to start the day. A bit more sun around Sunday afternoon with high temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s.
After a cool start Monday morning, temperatures are expected to warm up through Election Day. We can expect mostly sunny skies and daytime highs in the mid to upper 60s. A warm front lifts through Monday night and keeps temperatures in the 50s with mostly cloudy skies and a stray sprinkle.
Election Day looks warm with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s with mostly sunny skies. Wednesday might even see temperatures near 80 degrees ahead of another cold front.
MARYLAND (WBFF) — It’s that time of year again — spotted lanternflies have made a comeback across Maryland and most of the eastern U.S.
Spotted lanternflies typically hatch in late April and early May, meaning juveniles of the species are popping up around the state. The Maryland Department of Agriculture predicted in March that Baltimore City and central Maryland counties will be heavily infested with the pests.
The invasive insect has been present in nearly all of Maryland since 2018 and was previously thought to have caused ecosystem harm. But recent studies on the insect’s assimilation into its environment have shown that the lanternfly has caused no large-scale damage.
“This is mainly just a nuisance pest,” Emily Zobel, University of Maryland Extension’s agriculture and food systems agent for Dorchester County, said. “[The spotted lanternfly] is big, it’s kind flashy, it’s a little intimidating, but studies have shown that in residential gardens and landscapes, it doesn’t do any significant damage to otherwise healthy plants.”
