Maryland – Rain drums steadily against windshields across Baltimore this morning as a cold December front moves through the region. Pavement glistens in streetlights, and windshield wipers keep pace with bursts of steady showers before drier air takes over later today.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, rain continues through early afternoon, tapering off as highs reach around 43°F. North winds will pick up by evening, ushering in much colder air that could lead to patchy refreezing overnight — especially on bridges, ramps, and shaded roadways.
Commuters on I-95, I-83, and I-695 should plan for slower travel early, as standing water and slick roads could impact the morning and midday drives. Conditions improve this evening with clearing skies, but temperatures will fall quickly into the low 30s by nightfall, making frost likely into Wednesday morning.
Wednesday brings sunshine and calmer winds with highs in the low 40s, a brief break before another weak front later Friday may introduce a light rain-snow mix into western Maryland and northern suburbs.
Looking ahead, the first weekend of December stays chilly but mostly dry, with highs near 38–40°F and lows dipping into the upper 20s.
For now, keep the umbrella handy this morning — and watch for icy patches tomorrow as the Mid-Atlantic winter pattern slowly takes hold.
