A pair of storms will shape weather in the Baltimore-DC region this week, including two chances for snow and cold, forecasters said.

Another taste of winter weather could be on tap for the Baltimore-DC region this week, as storm systems could bring two chances of snow later in the week, according to forecasters. Parts of western Maryland saw light snowfall Saturday, while over an inch of rain soaked Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia.

The first storm will arrive at some point on Wednesday, as a coastal storm develops and brings rain and snow to the region.

The strength and nature of the storm remain highly variable, forecasters warn, and the position of the jet stream will determine whether the region gets a little rain, a dusting of snow, or a significant storm.

"A storm that tracks farther east would likely head out to sea, bringing snow showers to parts of the interior Northeast and mid-Atlantic states," Accuweather notes. "In another scenario, a storm that tracks closer to the coast could spread snow across much of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern New England late in the week."

The National Weather Service predicts rain will fall in Baltimore-DC Wednesday, possibly mixing with snow overnight into early Thursday morning.

The amount of cold air and moisture available after the first storm will further determine how the next front develops, forecasters said.

The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang says the amount of snow possible on Thursday is diminishing, but there is a chance a second storm system will produce some snow on Saturday.

"Somewhat colder than normal weather dominates Friday through Sunday. It could climb to near 40 on Saturday but snow or rain showers are possible as another cold front passes by, especially at night. … Watching the possibility of snow showers Thursday, but the storm will probably form too far to the northeast for anything substantial. There’s another chance of snow showers late Saturday."

Because of the high variability, forecasters have not yet released predictions of potential accumulation totals. There is also a possibility that the region gets no snow at all, they said.

After a midweek high in the low 50s, overnight lows plunge into the 20s for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the NWS said.

Here's the latest Maryland forecast from the National Weather Service:

Monday AfternoonMostly sunny, with a high near 45. Southwest wind 7 to 9 mph.

A year after planning to close, the owners of The Point in Towson say the venue will remain open with a change in how the space operates.

TOWSON, MD — A year after announcing plans to close, the owners of The Point in Towson say the venue will remain open with a change in how the space operates to better serve community needs.

Previously, the plan was to transition the space into an events and pop-up bar only concept, which felt like the most realistic path forward, owner Erica Russo said in a news release. But, the Towson community reached out, asking The Point to stay open because the area had already lost too many independently owned restaurants. Residents wanted to support a local, scratch kitchen restaurant that offered more than just another college bar.

"That response is what made us fight to stay," Russo said.

Over the past year, The Point listened to customers and worked to determine if a sustainable path forward existed.

While the long term vision always included rotating pop-ups and events, operational and staffing challenges initially delayed execution, Russo said. In November, staffing changes were made to align with long-term goals. That allowed The Point to finally launch its first official pop-up experience in December — The Elf Bar, a holiday themed concept that sold out almost every show.

That success gave the team the confidence to fully commit to a larger pivot. Rather than closing the space entirely, The Point chose to divide it.

This week, The Point in Towson, 523 York Road, announced its new brand direction.

The restaurant will continue regular brunch and dinner service in its bar and dining room, offering the scratch kitchen food and hospitality the community asked for. At the same time, a secondary barspace has been reimagined as a dedicated monthly rotating pop-up bar designed for immersive themed experiences, entertainment, and programming.

“We realized closing the space would take something away from the community, so we chose to divide it instead and give people both great food and something fun to do,” Russo said.

Two days after a missed field goal kept the Baltimore Ravens out of the NFL playoffs, the team has fired head coach John Harbaugh.

BALTIMORE — Just two days after a missed field goal in the waning seconds of the Baltimore Ravens game kept them out of the playoffs, the team has fired head coach John Harbaugh, reports said.

Owner Steve Bisciotti said Tuesday he relieved Harbaugh of his duties after the Ravens were one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season. They went 8-9 and missed the playoffs after entering Week 1 as one of the Super Bowl favorites. Baltimore’s season ended Sunday night when Tyler Loop missed a last-second field goal, allowing Pittsburgh to hold on for a 26-24 victory in the game that decided the AFC North title.

“This was an incredibly difficult decision, given the tremendous 18 years we have spent together and the profound respect I have for John as a coach and, most importantly, as a great man of integrity," Bisciotti said in a statement. "Throughout what I firmly believe is a Hall of Fame coaching career, John has delivered a Super Bowl championship to Baltimore and served as a steadfast pillar of humility and leadership.”

In a statement, Harbaugh thanked Bisciotti and the Ravens organization for his time in Baltimore.

“Well, I was hoping for a different kind of message on my last day here, someday, but that day has come today,” Harbaugh said. “It comes with disappointment certainly, but more with GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION. Gratitude to the owner and organization who was willing to bring in a head coach who made his mark with special teams success. A difficult thing to do … and Appreciation for all the moments, all these years, that are etched into eternity.”

Only the third head coach in Ravens history, Harbaugh departs after leaving an indelible mark on the franchise, the team said in a statement.

"We now begin the challenging, but exciting, process of identifying the next leader of our football team," Bisciotti said. "We fully understand the expectations of our fans and everyone in the Ravens organization. Finding another strong leader and partner who will reflect these high standards is paramount. We deeply appreciate our fans and will continue to work relentlessly to bring them, our city and the extended community the success they deserve."

ESPN's lead NFL writer, Adam Schefter, broke the news on X shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.

"Sources: John Harbaugh is out as the Ravens head coach," Schefter posted.

During Harbaugh's 18 seasons in Baltimore, the Ravens compiled a 180-113 record with a 13-11 postseason record and one Super Bowl championship. That win in 2012 came over his younger brother Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers.

Rookie kicker Tyler Loop’s missed field goal allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers to claim their first AFC North title in five years with a 26-24 win Sunday over the Ravens.

This season was only the sixth time Baltimore missed the postseason under Harbaugh. That’s the same number of times the Ravens won the AFC North with him at the helm.

But most of Baltimore’s postseason success came in his first few seasons. The Ravens went to the AFC title game three times in his first five years as coach, culminating in their run to the 2012 Super Bowl title as a wild card.

At that point, Harbaugh was 9-4 in the postseason, but after that he was just 4-7. After three straight seasons without a playoff berth, Lamar Jackson arrived in 2018 and led Baltimore to a division title. But Harbaugh’s lone trip to an AFC title game with Jackson was wasted two seasons ago when Baltimore lost at home to Kansas City.

Squandering significant advantages became a troubling trend for the Ravens in Harbaugh’s last few seasons. The Ravens have blown 10 double-digit leads in the second half in the last six seasons. No other team has done that more than seven times.

After a hamstring injury sidelined Jackson, Baltimore stumbled to a 1-5 start in 2025. Harbaugh and the Ravens worked their way back into contention and eventually reached Sunday’s winner-take-all matchup as a favorite to beat the Steelers. But despite Derrick Henry’s early dominance on the ground and Jackson’s sensational fourth quarter, another season ended in excruciating fashion.

If this departure was a result of that loss — which is not necessarily clear — then the missed kick at the end could have quite a domino effect throughout the league. If he wants to coach next season, Harbaugh may be the most sought-after person on the market, and the Baltimore job might the best available, given the short-term possibilities with Jackson at quarterback and the organization's reputation for stability.

The Baltimore Banner said Harbaugh had the most wins of any coach in Ravens history. His departure was confirmed by a team spokesman to the website.

Harbaugh, 63, was the NFL’s second-longest-tenured active head coach, behind the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin, the Banner said. In March, he signed a contract extension through the 2028 season.

Asked in April about his expectations for the franchise’s next three decades in Baltimore, Bisciotti told the team website, “I want to win now. I don’t give a damn about 30 years from now, I really don’t.”

Baltimore was Harbaugh's first stint as a head coach after working in the Philadelphia Eagles organization as special teams coordinator from 1998 to 2006 and as the defensive backs coach in 2007, the New York Post said.

The Baltimore-DC region will get a break from the cold and blustery conditions that have chilled the area throughout the holiday season, with a significant warm-up in the forecast this week.

Clouds and fog will clear out by Wednesday, with temperatures expected to soar by roughly 20 degrees at the end of the week.

"A steady warmup begins today, with highs eventually reaching the 50s to low 60s during the middle to late part of the week. Allegheny rain showers possible on Tuesday, then the next chance for widespread showers will come late in the week," the National Weather Service's Baltimore-DC office said on social media.

While Monday's high will be 41 degrees, temperatures will quickly rise into the mid-50s on Wednesday before reaching the low 60s by Friday, the NWS said.

If the clouds clear at midday on Friday and Saturday, the DC area could "flirt with 70" degrees, The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang said.

"The thaw predicted later this week looks for real as the computer model consensus projects highs of at least 60 Friday and Saturday. The question now is just how far into the 60s it gets. That will depend on clouds and the coverage and frequency of rain showers."

The warming weather is at least partially attributable to the same polar vortex which ushered in Arctic air last week and again in late November, according to meteorologists.

"With the polar vortex toughening up over North America, it will create a more west-to-east flow of air across the U.S. and southern Canada, which tends to result in warmer weather conditions," Accuweather said.

Here's the latest Washington, D.C., area forecast, according to the National Weather Service:

Monday

Partly sunny, with a high near 41. South wind 7 to 9 mph.
