BALTIMORE — Thanksgiving is shaping up to be a wet one, followed by an Arctic blast as we head into the weekend. After some morning showers and thunderstorms, expect partly cloudy skies this afternoon and tonight. Breezy northwest winds at 20 to 25 mph will persist throughout the day.

High temperatures will reach near 60 degrees this afternoon before dipping into the 30s overnight. Holiday travelers today and tonight should encounter no major weather-related issues, as dry conditions and favorable driving weather are expected.

Wednesday: A Calm Before the Storm

Wednesday looks pleasant, with a mix of clouds and sunshine and high temperatures in the mid-50s. However, clouds will increase later in the day as a storm system approaches from the west. This system will bring a significant chance of rain for Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day: Wet and Cool

On Thursday, wet weather is expected throughout the day, with the heaviest rain likely during the morning and early afternoon. Showers will taper off by the evening, and high temperatures will struggle to reach 50 degrees. Rain will clear out Thursday night, giving way to partly cloudy skies into Friday morning.

Friday: Colder Air Arrives

A much colder air mass will follow the storm system. Highs on Friday will only reach the 40s, and gusty northwest winds will make it feel even chillier.

Weekend: Arctic Air Settles In

The weekend will bring the coldest air of the season so far. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will reach only the mid-to-upper 30s, while nighttime lows will dip well into the 20s. Gusty northwest winds will create a wind chill, with “feels like” temperatures in the teens and 20s, particularly during the mornings. By Sunday night, wind chills could drop even further.

Next Week: Arctic Chill Lingers

The Arctic air will remain in place early next week. Highs on Monday and Tuesday will top out around 40 degrees, with lows in the low-to-mid 20s. Most of the week will feature highs in the 40s as this slow-moving weather pattern persists. The region will likely remain dry through the first part of next week.

Winter Travelers: Pack Accordingly

If you’re traveling somewhere warm for the holiday, be sure to bring winter clothing for your return trip. The sharp contrast in temperatures will be noticeable when you get back this weekend or early next week.

An FBI agent who was acquitted of attempted murder after shooting a man on a train nearly four years ago was arrested in Maryland on Monday on charges stemming from allegations that he sexually assaulted two women.

Special Agent Eduardo Valdivia, 40, was arrested by the Montgomery County Department of Police, and the Special Victims Investigations Division is urging any additional victims to come forward. Police will hold a news conference on Tuesday to “encourage them to come forward,” the department said in a statement.

Valdivia has been suspended by the FBI pending the conclusion of the Montgomery County police investigation, a spokesperson for the FBI said in a statement.

“The FBI takes allegations of criminal violations and misconduct very seriously,” the statement said. “Because this is an ongoing investigation, the FBI cannot comment further.”

JURY FINDS FBI AGENT NOT GUILTY OF 2020 METRO SHOOTING IN MARYLAND

Valdivia was previously charged with attempted second-degree murder and other charges in connection with a 2020 off-duty shooting aboard a Metro Red Line train near Bethesda, Maryland, but was acquitted two years later.

He had allegedly engaged in a verbal exchange with a man who approached him asking for money. When Valdivia declined to give him any money, the man allegedly muttered expletives before turning away.

Then, Valdivia shot the man from a distance of roughly two to three feet after repeatedly telling the man to back up, county prosecutor Robert Hill said in court. The wounded man had part or all of his spleen, colon and pancreas removed during surgery following the shooting, Hill said.

The FBI agent was later charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a violent crime and reckless endangerment.

Valdivia turned himself in after he was indicted in 2021, but a jury found him not guilty of all charges last December.

Now, Valdivia faces new felony and misdemeanor charges, including two counts of second-degree rape, over alleged incidents in May and September of this year, according to court records.

Attorney Robert Bonsib, who represented Valdivia in the train shooting case, confirmed that the FBI agent was arrested Monday on sexual assault accusations.

“We don’t accept at first blush any of the allegations until all of the evidence is in,” Bonsib told The Associated Press.

Bonsib said his client was ordered held in custody after his initial court appearance on Monday. Valdivia is slated to return to court Tuesday for a bond hearing before a judge, Bonsib said.

Valdivia joined the FBI in 2011 before he was promoted to supervisory special agent at the FBI headquarters in 2019, according to Bonsib. Valdivia had been working at the FBI since his acquittal.
