Wednesday will be the nicest weather day of the week. 

With the help of much more sunshine, temperatures will warm into the upper 40s and lower 50s in many areas. It’ll be breezy. Winds will gust 20 to 30 MPH through the afternoon. The weather looks good for holiday plans, aside from the breezy winds.

Travel weather will be great up and down the I-95 and I-70 corridors across the region through Christmas Eve afternoon. 

Damp start to Christmas Day in Baltimore

A passing storm system will send a round of showers through Maryland on Christmas morning. While mostly rain, snow and sleet may mix in early in the morning. The chance of a brief wintry mix is greatest in northeast Maryland around sunrise. No wintry accumulation is expected, with morning temperatures in the mid to upper 30s.

The forecast dries out from northwest, to southeast, by mid-morning. Afternoon temperatures peak in the upper 40s and lower 50s, under a mostly cloudy sky.

Another batch of cold air will blow into Maryland Christmas night, into Friday morning ahead of the next storm system.
