The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has issued an alert regarding significant winter weather conditions. On Sunday, snow accumulation ranged widely across the area, with totals reaching up to 5.3 inches in Bel Air. Here’s a summary of snowfall totals for various locations:
- Bel Air: 5.3 inches
- Westminster: 5.2 inches
- Baltimore: 3.5 inches

As the winter weather subsides, the focus shifts to the harsh cold expected at the start of the week. Overnight temperatures are anticipated to drop to the teens to low 20s. With untreated surfaces likely remaining icy, caution is advised for anyone going outdoors.
Frigid Temperatures Expected Tonight
As winds from the northwest increase, the “Feels Like” temperatures could plummet to single digits by Monday morning. Residents are urged to dress warmly and take precautions, especially for vulnerable individuals such as pets and the elderly.
On Monday, daytime temperatures will struggle to reach the low 30s, although the chill will make it feel much colder in the 20s throughout the day. Bright sunshine reflecting off the snow will necessitate sunglasses for outdoor activities.
Upcoming Weather Changes
Relief from the frigid temperatures is on the horizon. By Tuesday, high temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 30s to low 40s under mostly sunny skies. This warming trend will continue into Wednesday, with highs approaching 50 degrees.
However, the increase in temperature may bring added cloud cover later in the day on Wednesday, along with a chance for light showers by Thursday night. Stay tuned to El-Balad for updates and further weather alerts.
