Maryland wakes to a crisp, quiet morning as a light breeze pushes cool air across Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Pavement feels cold underfoot, and the sky holds that pale, early-winter look that hints at bigger changes approaching. With post-Thanksgiving travel increasing today, residents should keep an eye on shifting conditions through the weekend.
Sun shines across Baltimore for much of today, but the air stays brisk as winds gust at times. Drivers heading toward I-95 or Route 40 will enjoy dry roads, though the cool temperatures may still make early travel feel sharp. Meteorologists are now tracking a Winter Tease developing late Saturday into Sunday as colder pockets of air meet incoming moisture.
Saturday stays mostly sunny and calm, but clouds build by evening. Winds ease, giving the day a deceptively mild feel before Sunday’s system approaches. Models hint at a possible rain–snow changeover early Sunday as moisture arrives and temperatures hover in the mid-30s. Any flakes should stay light, but travel conditions may shift quickly if precipitation intensifies.
Sunday brings the biggest change. Rain spreads in by late morning, and a brief snow chance may occur at the start. Warmer air then turns most precipitation to rain, though a second changeover could occur late Sunday night as temperatures dip again. Plan extra time if you’re returning from Thanksgiving gatherings, especially after sunset when visibility may drop.
Looking ahead to the first week of December, a stronger cold front is expected to sweep from the Midwest toward the East Coast. This early-season push may deliver below-normal temperatures, a few additional snow chances north of Baltimore, and a pattern favoring quick weather swings.
