We\u2019re almost a week into spring, but you wouldn\u2019t have guessed that from our recent weather.\u00a0This chilly start to spring hasn’t been great for the cherry blossoms and other flowering\u00a0plants. It’s going to be another few days before we will see that begin to change. Typically, we should see high temperatures in the low 60s by this point in March. But we’re still waiting on our first 60\u00b0F day of the month. This morning started out chilly with temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s around College Park. Today\u2019s highs flirted with the upper 40\u2019s but capped out at 45\u00b0F. You may have needed a warm coat when you headed outside, but the copious amounts of sunshine made sunglasses a necessity.<\/p>\n

Through Tonight:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The high pressure system that kept our skies clear today will shift\u00a0eastward this evening. This will bring increasing clouds to the area, but we shall remain dry through tonight. Tonight’s low temperatures will\u00a0settle into the\u00a0low 30s in the suburbs. Some spots may dip into the 20s, which is about 10-15\u00b0F below average for this time of year. Also, the light winds that we saw today will calm overnight.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Tuesday):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clouds will build in through the day on Tuesday. And tomorrow\u2019s temperatures should stay well below average for late March. Highs will linger in the upper 40s for most of the area. Some spots may be lucky enough to reach 50\u00b0F. Light and variable winds will move in as our next weather system approaches. We may see some showers late tomorrow evening. But most of the rain associated with that system should hold off until Wednesday. As we look ahead, this system\u00a0should bring a change in pattern that\u00a0will usher in some more mild\u00a0temperatures for the Easter weekend.<\/p>\n
