While we are losing an hour of our day, the beautiful weather in store might\nmake up for that loss. High pressure will remain over the area, which means you\ncan expect a virtually cloudless sky. The sunshine isn\u2019t the only perk today; the\nhigh temperature of 65-degrees will be warm (for March) as well. It will be the\nperfect day for hanging in a hammock or playing frisbee with your friends\noutside. If you\u2019re planning to wait outside to get into the men\u2019s basketball\ngame, a sweatshirt is all you will need. Because of the dynamic weather in Maryland,\ntomorrow isn\u2019t a day to stay indoors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tonight:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect quiet conditions tonight, skies will stay clear\nand the low temperature will fall into the low-40s. If you\u2019re going to be\nwalking around campus, I recommend a heavier jacket because it will feel a lot\ncolder once the sun goes down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tomorrow (Monday):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather tomorrow will be as nice, if not nicer,\nthan the weather today. As you\u2019re walking to class, expect plenty of sunshine\nand a high temperature in the low-70s. If you aren\u2019t able to hang out outside\non Sunday, Monday is a second chance. It isn\u2019t a bad idea to do your homework\noutside tomorrow or go for a jog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Look Ahead:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high-pressure system bringing us this nice weather will move off the East Coast by Tuesday, and clouds and rain will move into its place. Temperatures will still be hovering in the 60s, but you\u2019ll want to grab the umbrella and raincoat before heading to class on Tuesday. After Tuesday, however, the rain should clear out, making for some nicer weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"577\" src=\"http:\/\/weather.umd.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wpc-3.7.20-800x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weather.umd.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wpc-3.7.20-800x577.jpg 800w, https:\/\/weather.umd.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wpc-3.7.20-500x361.jpg 500w, https:\/\/weather.umd.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wpc-3.7.20.jpg 887w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Clear skies will hold through Monday.
