Maryland – A mild, misty start blankets Baltimore this morning as Thanksgiving travelers hit the highways and airports across the Mid-Atlantic. Pavement glistens under low clouds and patchy fog, while light rain lingers from an early-morning front. Temperatures hover near 50°F, but a shift in the wind later today will begin to pull in drier, cooler air.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, scattered showers will taper through midday, followed by partial clearing and a westward breeze this afternoon. Some fog could reduce visibility early, especially along I-95 between Baltimore and D.C., and along Route 40 eastward toward Aberdeen. Drivers are encouraged to slow down in low-visibility pockets and watch for slick roads during the morning commute.
Thanksgiving Day will feature a cooler, calmer pattern—ideal for travel and outdoor gatherings. Highs will reach the mid-40s under partly sunny skies with a brisk west wind gusting to 25–30 mph. Layers and windbreakers will be useful for morning parades or outdoor meals.
Friday stays breezy and bright, with highs near 43°F and crisp, dry air settling in behind the front. The weekend ahead looks mainly dry and seasonable—Saturday sunny and 43°F, followed by increasing clouds Sunday as the next system approaches from the Midwest.
Looking ahead, long-range models hint at a strong Arctic front sweeping into the northern U.S. around December 1, bringing the potential for heavy snow and early-season cold across much of the country. For now, Baltimore remains in a comfortable late-fall pattern—cool, dry, and travel-friendly.

• Thursday: Partly sunny, 46°F.
