BALTIMORE — Winds increase today as a reinforcing clipper system moves through during the afternoon. Wind gusts may clock in around 50 mph at times. Wind Advisories go into effect from noon - 7 PM for the entire area. A stray flurry or two can't be ruled out near the Mason Dixon line as the frontal boundary moves in midday. High temperatures will be cooler than recent days, only reaching the 40s this afternoon. The combination of low relative humidity values, strong gusty winds, and dry fuels may lead to increased fire danger today. Outdoor burning of any kind is highly discouraged as fire could easily spread. Winds will relax tonight with overnight lows will be very cold, in the teens and low-20s. There will be ample sunshine on Sunday with highs below normal, in the upper-30s and low-40s. Mostly sunny skies are in store for President's Day with above normal temperatures. The warming trend continues through mid-week with rain showers possible Tuesday into Thursday.
