Maryland Weather: Quieting down to ring in 2025
BALTIMORE -- After a few severe thunderstorm warnings and heavy showers, things quieted down Tuesday evening. Scattered showers remained for a bit after the line of the strongest storms and heavier rain.
The weather at midnight does look drier with temperatures near 50° with a partly to mostly cloudy sky.
New Year's Day looks cold and windy! We'll have another Alert Day to start the year as well, due to the forecasted gusty winds. A wind advisory is in place for most of Wednesday with the threat of wind gusts to 50 mph. We're on a cooling trend - highs will only reach the upper 40s Wednesday. Wind chills will stay in the 20s & 30s much of the day, despite sunshine.
Blustery and cold weather continues Thursday with highs only in the lower 40s, but with the wind, feels like temperatures will be mainly in the 20s. Cold weather continues into Friday where we could see a passing shower or snow shower with highs in the lower 40s.
Expect bitterly cold weather this upcoming weekend, too. This includes the Ravens game Saturday afternoon where temperatures will be in the lower 30s with a howling and icy wind. We've flagged Saturday as a possible First Alert Weather Day because wind chills during the game will be in the upper teens & lower 20s.
Bitter cold continues Sunday with highs in the lower 30s. A wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is possible next Monday into next Tuesday followed by another shot of extremely cold air. Continue to check back with us as we update the forecast for possible snow and ice for part of early next week. There still is high uncertainty with this forecast.
