BALTIMORE — The forecast starts off nice with temps that are chilly in the 40s with sunny skies. By Wednesday afternoon the clouds start to build in. A cold rain falls across central MD on Thursday afternoon as temperatures will be in the 40s when the moisture arrives. Far western MD has the better chance of seeing a wintry mix. High temperatures will occur at night, in the low-50s. Because we hit our high temperatures in the 40s and 50s during the morning hours on Friday, the area will start off with rain showers. Model runs show wet snow mixing in across our northern communities late-day as temperatures drop into the low to mid-30s. The wet flakes will have a hard time sticking to the surface, given the saturated ground. Winds will turn gusty, around 40 mph at times. Dry, breezy, & frigid this weekend! Wind chills will be in the teens and single digits for both Christmas Eve and Christmas mornings. Westerly winds will remain elevated, with gusts up to 30 mph. Temperatures will struggle to hit the 30° both days, but wind chills will remain in the teens. The higher elevations could feel like the single digits during the afternoon hours.
I hope you all have a great day!
