April weather forecast
Maryland, USA

April in Maryland signals a definitive shift towards spring, with milder temperatures and a noticeable reduction in snowfall. The transition from the chilly grasp of winter becomes evident as temperatures begin to rise, although occasional cold fronts can still bring temporary drops in temperature.

Snowfall in April becomes a rare occurrence, especially on the eastern shore. In the western highlands, any lingering snow tends to melt, and new snowfall becomes increasingly infrequent. Frost is less common, and the threat of temperatures dropping below 0°F (-17.8°C) diminishes significantly.

The Appalachian Mountains continue to play a role in Maryland's climate, warming the descending air on the eastern slopes. This effect contributes to the overall warming trend in April, supporting the growth of new vegetation and the blooming of flowers across the state.

While March still held onto winter's chill, April embraces spring's mild and refreshing air. Roads are generally free from slush, and driving conditions improve. The days become longer, and the strengthening sunlight encourages outdoor activities.

In comparison to May, which will bring even warmer temperatures and the onset of summer-like conditions, April offers a pleasant and balanced climate. It serves as a welcome interlude between the extremes of winter and the heat and humidity of the approaching summer. While occasional fluctuations in temperature can still occur, April in Maryland typically provides a delightful blend of warmth and coolness, embodying the essence of spring.
