Ahead of this weekend, Marylanders should keep their umbrellas at the ready due to multiple chances of rain in the coming days.

Forecasters are monitoring an incoming winter storm that could potentially bring snow to Maryland and a large area of the northeastern United States this weekend.

Ahead of the system, residents of the Baltimore area should keep their umbrellas at the ready due to multiple chances of rain in the coming days.

According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers are possible on Wednesday afternoon, mainly between 2 and 5 p.m. Another round of rain is possible Thursday afternoon and evening, with precipitation likely arriving in the Baltimore area around dinner time, forecasters with CBS Baltimore wrote.

"A steadier rain is likely late Thursday night into Friday morning. Right now, the heaviest of the rain may exit just before the morning commute Friday, but we'll keep an eye on it, just in case the timeline changes," CBS Baltimore forecasters said.

Conditions will remain dry Friday night into Saturday ahead of the predicted coastal storm, which could move into the region on Sunday.

"Sunday is very uncertain at this point. Rain could be heavy or change to accumulating snow with temperatures holding in the 30s," The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang wrote. "Or there could just be periods of lighter rain with warmer highs near or above 40. It all depends on the track and intensity of a low-pressure center passing to our south and potentially intensifying near the coast."

According to the latest forecast by AccuWeather, Sunday's storm situation is "complicated" and is not certain to bring snow to the big cities along the Interstate 95 corridor.

Whether or not the Baltimore region sees snow on Sunday depends largely on the amount of cold air in the atmosphere, which is critical for snow to survive the trip to the ground. Another factor to consider is the storm's track.

"If the storm travels well inland of the coast, it will pull too much warm air into the I-95 zone for snow and might even make it too warm for an all-out snowstorm from north and west of I-95 to the Appalachians," AccuWeather forecasters wrote.

As of Wednesday, the National Weather Service predicts a 60 percent chance of a rain/snow mix in the Baltimore region on Sunday, followed by a 50 percent chance of snow on Sunday night. Snow chances continue Monday, though the likelihood is lower.

"If the storm does come to fruition, it could be rather impactful, (or it) could also be a swing and a miss," NWS forecasters said. "Time will tell."

Here's a look at the detailed forecast for the Baltimore region:

Wednesday: A chance of rain, mainly between 3pm and 5pm. Cloudy, with a high near 52. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Wednesday Night: Patchy fog after 1am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 40. Southwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening.

The Sheraton Inner Harbor opened in 1985, Ronald Reagan was the 40th U.S. President. The Orioles were playing at Memorial Stadium on 33rd Street and the Colts left town one-year earlier in 1984.

The 1st version of the Baltimore Convention Center opened in 1979. That same-year the Orioles advanced to the World Series vs the Pittsburgh Pirates and the film And Justice for All starring Al Pacino was released to theaters. The movie was filmed entirely here in Baltimore. The screenplay was written by Baltimore native Barry Levinson.

Pacino was nominated for an Oscar for his performance and Levinson with Valerie Curtain received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. 2026 will also mark the 45th Anniversary of the opening of the Hyatt Regency Baltimore.

TOWSON, MD — In a late Tuesday emergency session, the Baltimore County Council banned the establishment of any new immigration detention centers in the county.

The unanimous 6-0 vote on Bill 14-26 changes zoning regulations to prohibit the county from granting any permits for a detention center, jail, or any other structure that can be used for "involuntary confinement."

The legislation, which was introduced by Council member Julian Jones, allows the county to suspend or revoke any permit tied to a detention center that was either applied for or issued since Jan. 1.

However, exemptions are in play for any county- or state-owned facility that was already in operation.

The emergency session was held after the U.S. General Services Administration leased an office in Hunt Valley, prompting speculation that the grounds would be used as a potential site for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Baltimore County Executive Kathy Klausmeier told WBAL that if ICE were to "own the property, they can do whatever they want to do. But, if they have to lease the property or someone else is involved, those are the people we can control."

Although no official word has been issued on the usage of the Hunt Valley site, Council member David Marks told WMAR that a representative for the property informed him that the structure was meant for staffers who "are handling immigration, customs, and FOIA requests."

As for Jones, he told WMAR that he introduced the legislation because he did not "want to wait for them to string up barb wire for me to figure out what's going on."

The bill's passage comes after similar steps were taken by the Howard County Council, which passed two emergency bills to not only keep ICE detention centers out of the county but to limit their access to county facilities and properties.

COCKEYSVILLE, Md. —

Rumors of a potential ICE office in Hunt Valley have sparked an investigation by the Baltimore County Executive's Office, officials said.

County Executive Kathy Klausmeier said her office has learned the U.S. General Services Administration has leased an office space in the county.

At this time, Klausmeier said they're unsure of what business the Department of Homeland Security plans to conduct with the space.

WBAL-TV 11 News learned from sources the office space in question is across from the Hunt Valley Towne Center, off of McCormick Road.

In a statement on Friday, Klausmeier said, in part:

"Across the country, the presence of ICE has created fear and uncertainty for immigrant families. In Baltimore County, we believe every resident deserves to live, work, worship, and attend school without fear that their family will be torn apart or their daily life disrupted without warning.

"We want to be clear: we remain committed to protecting the safety, dignity, and rights of all who call Baltimore County home."

The Baltimore County Council will convene an emergency session on Tuesday to consider legislation about the purchase, similar to a move that Howard County made to prevent a private detention center in Elkridge.

That legislation will be introduced by Councilman Julian Jones, D-District 4. Jones is one of three councilmembers running for the county executive seat in the upcoming election. His opponents, Councilmen Izzy Patoka, D-District 2, and Pat Young, D-District 1, are co-sponsoring and supporting the bill.

"What I did was (I) decided to come up with some legislation that would outlaw any new detention centers in Baltimore County, by anyone," Jones said.

However, Jones noted the county can only do so much when it comes to federal government buildings and entities.

"The supremacy clause states that we don't have any authority over the federal government, so we're going to do everything we can do, up to the powers we have," said Jones. "We can't stop the federal government if they own that building and if they decided to do whatever they wanted to do with it, we would have no power over that."

But Tuesday's expected legislation would ban private persons, corporations, property owners or third-party contractors from gaining permits to operate detention centers in the county.

The bill defines detention centers to include correctional centers, jails, prerelease centers, prisons, reformatories, or similar incarceration facilities.

In a statement, a DHS spokesperson said:

"ICE will not confirm office locations as our officers are facing a coordinated campaign of violence against them including an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them.

"Is it really news that when a federal agency hires more personnel that they need more space? Thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill, we have an additional 12,000 ICE officers and agents on the ground across the country. That's a 120% increase in our workforce."
