BALTIMORE — Tomorrow morning will be partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-20s. By the afternoon the clouds start to build in as we get to the 40s. Thursday is when things shake up a bit. Central Maryland will mainly see cold rain, whereas western Maryland has the better opportunity to deal with a wintry mix. High temperatures for Thursday will occur later almost at midnight, in the low-50s. Lingering moisture into Friday morning will be in the form of rain as temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s. But as our cold air sprints on in, temperatures drop into the low to mid-30s throughout the afternoon. There is a chance of wet snowflakes mixing in across our northern communities after the front moves in. As temperatures drop so abruptly this could lead to flash freezing across the region. Friday afternoon and evening will be not great for travel. Winds will turn gusty, around 40-45 mph at times. The arctic blast takes over 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. Afternoon temperatures will range below freezing. Next week looks to be quiet so far as temps rebound back to the 30s.
I hope you all have a great day!
