Maryland
Warmer weekend; Strong storms possible in Maryland Sunday
Temperatures will warm up as we head into the weekend, but we’re still tracking a chance for strong storms on Sunday.
Expect areas of fog to develop across the region late tonight, continuing through Saturday morning. Overnight lows tonight will remain mostly in the low to mid-40s.
Saturday will bring mostly cloudy skies, with fog likely burning off by mid- to late morning. Conditions will stay dry throughout the day. High temperatures will reach around 60 degrees, though some areas may remain in the upper 50s during the afternoon.
Saturday night will be milder, with lows by Sunday morning dipping into the low to mid-50s.
On Sunday, high temperatures will approach 70 degrees, accompanied by breezy conditions. Winds will gust over 40 mph during the afternoon. A WJZ First Alert Weather Day remains in effect for later Sunday due to the potential for severe weather.
Showers and thunderstorms will move into the region late Sunday evening, with timing now pushed slightly later—after dark—for most areas. The primary threat from any strong storms will be damaging wind gusts. Although the overall risk for severe weather remains low, we’ll keep you updated throughout the weekend.
Looking ahead to next week, rain chances should clear out early Monday morning, giving way to a mix of clouds and sunshine. Breezy conditions will persist in the storm’s wake, making for a blustery St. Patrick’s Day across the region. Monday afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 50s, with some locations approaching 60 degrees.
Temperatures will cool into the upper 30s Monday night. Expect plenty of sunshine on Tuesday, with high temperatures reaching the mid to upper 60s.
Tuesday and Wednesday look very pleasant across the area, with Wednesday afternoon highs climbing into the lower 70s.
The next cold front arrives on Thursday, bringing a chance for showers and possibly a thunderstorm late Thursday into Thursday night. The system will quickly exit the area by Friday, leaving cooler temperatures in the 50s and gusty northwest winds.
The Big Ten Quarterfinals were dominated by the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds on Friday. Both Maryland and Michigan cruised past Illinois and Purdue, respectively, on their way to a Semifinal clash. The Terrapins crushed the Illini, 88-65, on Friday evening and guard Rodney Rice stole the show scoring 26 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Then Michigan finished off the night by having a superb second half and dismantling the Boilermakers, 86-68. Forward Danny Wolf led a balanced attack scoring 18 points.
Maryland and Michigan met just one time this season and it came during the last week of the regular season. The Terrapins came into Crisler Center and won 71-65 over Michigan — a team that lost four of its last six games to finish the year. While the Wolverines were in a serious drought, it would appear like a break is what the team needed in order to right some wrongs. But Saturday afternoon won’t be easy. Maryland has one of the best starting fives in college basketball and the Wolverines will have to play stuffing defense as they did against the Boilermakers in order to win.
Michigan needs to see good play from Tre Donaldson, who got hot and made three 3s on Friday. The Wolverines have been getting consistent scoring from both Vlad Goldin and Danny Wolf, but that third option is needed against really good teams. It’s going to be a battle of the bigs down low. Maryland and Michigan both have a top big-man duo that will be on display. Goldin and Wolf, Derick Queen and Julian Reese. Which combo gets more rebounds and helps secure second-chance points?
I like Maryland in a close one. But if the Wolverines play like they did against Purdue, Michigan can beat anyone.
Final score: Maryland 75, Michigan 71
