The National Weather Service updated its Harford County forecast around midday Saturday to include the chance of scattered snow flurries Saturday night, Sunday morning, and again Sunday night, but no significant snow is expected.
What’s happening: The updated forecast, issued between 12:03 and 12:32 p.m. Saturday, added flurries to a weekend outlook that had not previously mentioned them for all parts of the county. Scattered sprinkles and flurries are possible Saturday night as skies go from mostly cloudy to partly cloudy, with lows in the mid-30s and wind gusts up to 25 mph. Sunday morning brings another chance of scattered flurries, followed by a mostly sunny afternoon with highs around 50 to 52 degrees. Sunday night, scattered sprinkles and flurries are possible again, mainly during the evening and mainly in southeastern Harford County.
What’s driving it: An upper-level low-pressure system sitting northeast of the region is pulling colder air and gusty northwest winds into the area. The heavier snow activity tied to that system is more likely in the Allegheny Mountains of Western Maryland. Harford County’s exposure is limited to scattered sprinkles and flurries.
Keep in mind: Temperatures are expected to stay above freezing for much of the weekend, making any accumulation unlikely. The National Weather Service has not forecast measurable snowfall for the county.
The path forward: Conditions improve heading into next week. Monday is forecast to be sunny with highs in the lower to mid-50s. Temperatures climb through the week, reaching the mid-60s by Thursday and Friday.
