Pleasant Veterans Day across Maryland, ahead of late week rain and cold
Our streak of seasonably pleasant weather continues today, ahead of big changes coming to Maryland. Much chillier, wetter weather builds in as the workweek comes to an end. Mountains of western Maryland will see the first legitimate snow of the season.

Our stretch of nice warm afternoons will conclude today, with afternoon temperatures ranging from the mid to upper 60s. Some inland neighborhoods could peak near 70°; College Park and Frederick for example.
Today will be a cloudier day, but dry across the metro. But, the forecast remains dry. The first few showers may move into our part of Maryland late in the evening and overnight. Temperatures will slide back through the 60s and into the 50s through the course of the evening.
Colder, breezy and damp end to the week in Maryland
A surge of chilly weather will settle into Maryland as a storm system approaches our area beginning Thursday morning.
There will be a noticeable drop in temperatures late Thursday, on into the weekend.
Scattered damp weather is expected during the Thursday morning commute, especially west of Baltimore. But, it won't be a washout. Scattered showers are possible throughout the rest of the day Thursday. Rain will be mainly light but some heavier rain will move through for some neighborhoods.
Snow will mix in with the rain later Thursday and Friday across far western Maryland - especially in the mountains. The first measurable snow of the season is possible across the highest elevations of western Maryland above elevations of 3000 feet in Garrett and Allegany Counties.
Scattered drizzle and showers are expected on Friday, especially in the morning. A few sleet pellets of slushy snow flakes could mix in outside the Baltimore beltway, closer to the state line. Temperatures hold in the in the 40s to near 50, with breezy winds. We'll see December-like temperatures over the weekend with highs only in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
