Maryland Weather: More rain arrives tonight
BALTIMORE — Rain is expected to return to the region tonight and early Tuesday as another upper-level disturbance moves through. The highest chances for rain will be after dark and through the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday. Low temperatures tonight will dip into the mid-40s.
Rain will taper off quickly before sunrise Tuesday, with skies clearing by the afternoon. Temperatures are forecast to reach near 60 degrees. Clouds will increase again Tuesday night, with low temperatures dropping into the mid-30s.
The next storm system will arrive by Wednesday afternoon and evening, bringing an increase in showers across the area as early as the evening rush hour. Rain will persist through Wednesday night. Like Monday night’s rain, this midweek system is expected to exit the region by Thursday morning.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies are forecast for Thursday and Friday. High temperatures will remain in the 40s, with Friday being the colder of the two days.
An Arctic cold front will push into the region this weekend, ushering in the coldest air of the season so far. Highs on Saturday will struggle to reach the mid-30s, and overnight lows will plummet into the teens and lower 20s. Wind chills will drop into the single digits to near zero, with areas north and west of Baltimore potentially seeing wind chills below zero.
Sunday will be the coldest day of the weekend, with highs only reaching the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. Sunday night temperatures will fall into the mid-teens across many locations. Wind chills by Monday morning could dip to dangerously low levels once again.
Temperatures will begin to rebound through Christmas Day. Highs on Monday are expected to reach the mid-30s. Christmas Eve will see highs near 40 degrees, with low 40s expected on Christmas Day.
The days leading up to Christmas will remain dry, with no threat of wintry or wet weather during the holiday period.
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.
