Baltimore, MD – The air feels sharp and still across the Inner Harbor this morning — the kind of early December chill that carries a whisper of winter. A few flakes could mix with light showers through late morning before skies gradually clear, setting the stage for a temporary calm ahead of a milder, wetter midweek pattern.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, temperatures will climb from the low 30s today into the upper 40s by Wednesday, with a 40% chance of rain arriving midweek. Early commuters Monday may see slick spots north and west of the city as a brief snow-to-cloudy transition takes hold before drier air moves in this afternoon.
By Tuesday, expect mostly sunny skies and a high near 36°F, ideal for outdoor errands or early decorating. But by Wednesday, a new front lifts moisture from the south, bringing light rain and breezy conditions across the I-95 corridor. As this system exits, temperatures will dip again into the upper 20s and low 30s heading into the weekend.
Forecasters say the broader December pattern is turning colder across the Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes, with Arctic air expected to spill east by Dec. 11–17. Long-range models hint at another snow chance late next weekend, though exact timing remains uncertain.
Drivers should watch for wet or refreezing spots overnight midweek and check local alerts before heading out for work or travel.

- Tuesday: Mostly sunny, high 36°F.
- Wednesday: Rain likely, high 48°F.
- Thursday: Mostly sunny, high 42°F.
- Friday: Partly sunny, high 41°F.
