Maryland's Chilly Start to December: What to Expect

Maryland is gearing up for a chilly start to December. The weather is set to shift, bringing a mix of rain and some wintry elements. The first weather system will hit the western parts of the state early Sunday. It will start as a wintry mix but will soon turn into all rain. The second system is expected to bring a similar mix to Central Maryland early Tuesday morning. By afternoon, it will also turn into rain. The temperatures will stay below average, hovering in the 40s. This weather pattern is not ideal for outdoor activities. Golfers might have a better chance on Saturday, as the wind will be lighter. However, the cold temperatures will persist, making it feel more like winter. The holidays are just around the corner, and this weather might set the mood for cozy indoor celebrations. After Tuesday, the weather will stay dry and cold for the rest of the week. This means more time indoors, perhaps preparing for the holidays or enjoying some hot cocoa. The cold snap is a reminder that winter is here, and it's time to bundle up.
