A couple of cold fronts are heading our way mid-week. Wednesday will be cloudier with a chance of rain showers. Thursday could be a First Alert Weather day, with rain possibly turning to snow later in the day and into early Friday. While it doesn't look like a major event for Baltimore, some snow accumulation is still possible. Another potential wintry system is being monitored for the weekend. Stay tuned for updates. After the warm-up, colder air will return on Thursday, with highs dropping back into the 30s.
