The Baltimore region could see a wintry mix as the week winds down, with periods of sleet and rain possible Friday before conditions gradually improve over the weekend.

Baltimore faces a cold front with potential for snow showers, gusty winds, and sub-zero wind chills in the mountains.

Snow showers will develop early Wednesday across parts of Maryland. This may leave a slippery coating of snow for driver's Wednesday morning, particularly in northeastern parts of the state. This would be especially true on untreated and elevated surfaces. Please use caution driving even though not a lot of snow is expected.

New Year's Eve evening weather looks good. Temperatures by mid to late evening will be in the lower 30s, but with a west to southwest wind at 10 to 20 mph, wind-chills will stay consistent in the middle 20s.
