Baltimore, Maryland – Damaging winds and dangerously cold wind chills are creating hazardous conditions across the region through Saturday evening.

According to the US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, northwest wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph are expected across much of central Maryland, northern Virginia, and the District of Columbia through tonight. These winds, combined with arctic air, are producing wind chills ranging from -5°F to -15°F, with even colder values in higher elevations.

The strongest gusts are likely during the daytime and early evening hours Saturday, increasing the risk of downed tree limbs, sporadic power outages, and difficult travel conditions. Drivers along major corridors including Interstate 95, I-70, I-270, I-395, and U.S. Route 50 may encounter sudden crosswinds, especially on bridges and elevated roadways.

Wind chills are expected to remain below zero through Sunday morning, creating a heightened risk of frostbite and hypothermia with prolonged outdoor exposure. Officials advise limiting time outdoors, dressing in multiple layers, and ensuring all exposed skin is covered.

In the mountains west of the Blue Ridge, conditions will be more severe, with wind chills potentially dropping to -20°F to -40°F. These areas face the highest risk for dangerous cold-related impacts.

Temperatures are forecast to remain cold through Monday before gradually improving early next week. The National Weather Service indicates a warmer pattern by midweek, with a chance of rain returning by Wednesday.

These conditions may significantly affect commuters, students, outdoor workers, and anyone traveling during the weekend, particularly during early morning and nighttime hours.

Residents are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items, check on vulnerable neighbors, and stay informed through official National Weather Service updates as conditions evolve.

In its seventh year, the Tree Frederick program aims to assist City residents in planting more trees. The effort will ultimately increase tree canopy in the City, help improve air and water quality, and might even help residents reduce energy costs.

According to the 2023 Tree Canopy Assessment, the City’s canopy covers less than 20% of the City, falling short of the 40% goal. “To meet that goal, we’ll need everyone’s help,” said Mayor Michael O’Connor. Through the Tree Frederick program residents can purchase containerized trees at a discounted rate due to the City’s 50-50 cost share. The trees will cost residents $30 each with the City picking up the remainder. Residents may purchase up to three trees via a new online storefront, provided by the Arbor Day Foundation.

“We selected this year’s species list with small and large yards in mind. All the species are native and range from small trees like witchhazel to large trees like swamp white oak,” said City Sustainability Manager Jenny Willoughby. Other trees species offered this year include eastern redbud, sweetbay magnolia, black gum, American linden, eastern red cedar, and bur oak.

If you are not sure which tree is right for your space, reach out to the Sustainability Department with your questions at sustainability@cityoffrederickmd.gov

The Tree Frederick program is open only to City residents. The storefront will start accepting orders on February 1 and sales will end on March 26, or earlier, if trees sell out. Residents will need to pick up their trees on March 28 at Harry Grove Stadium (21 Stadium Drive, Frederick, MD 21703) anytime between 11am and 2pm.
