February 25 Weather Cooler Today Then Snow And More Rain This Weekend

Thursday February 25 2021

The first thing you will notice today will be the cooler air.  After reaching 63ºF at BWI, this afternoon will be about 10 degrees cooler, but still above the average high of 48ºF for this date.  You will hear me mention the word snow quite a bit, but that is not for hype. I have learned over more than two decades forecasting in the Mid Atlantic this one important thing: When we start getting warmer days, winter is not over. If I do not mention snow and we get it, many people asking why I did not mention it.  Even snow that falls overnight and does not stick still warns people that it is too early to start planting. Please spread the word.

We do have snow show up twice over the next week, but both are at night or early morning, before mainly a rain event. What’s even more interesting is that Saturday may begin with snow before you wake up, and the afternoon could break out sun and reach 60ºF again.
