Mild for holidays, then colder

If you're headed for the Deep South for the holiday, you're in luck. High pressure over the region is providing lots of sunshine and boosting temperatures into the 50s and 60s for the next several days.

If you're staying in Central Maryland, it means you'll enjoy a flow of warm southerly, or southwesterly breezes off that high. That will scrub any hopes for a white Christmas, of course. Temperatures are expected to creep into the 40s and 50s here over the weekend.

But the cold air will return. It's still late December, after all. Look for highs only in the 30s by Tuesday, and the 20s on Wednesday.
