Baltimore residents can look forward to a stable weather pattern as weak high pressure lingers to the north into early Sunday, promising clear skies and comfortable temperatures. The forecast indicates daytime highs in the upper 80s and nighttime lows in the mid to upper 60s, maintaining near-normal conditions for this time of year, according to the National Weather Service.
Heading into Sunday and Monday, the high pressure center is expected to shift offshore with winds veering southerly, which could spell a warming trend with temperatures possibly peaking into the low 90s though dew points will remain low on Sunday; these will begin to rise on Monday as moisture increases across the region, giving way to increased shower and thunderstorm chances into the week, particularly across southwest areas by Monday afternoon.
Looking further into next week, frequent shortwave disturbances combined with an upper-level trough to the north will contribute to daily chances for showers and thunderstorms, with a slight warming trend anticipated through the week as mentioned in the area forecast discussion. Highs are expected to be slightly above average, potentially reaching the mid-upper 90s by Friday, while overnight temperatures should hover in the upper 60s to low 70s.
As far as aviation and marine conditions go, pilots can look forward to P6SM SKC through Sunday night with thunderstorm chances rolling in by Monday afternoon. Mariners will note light and variable winds through Sunday, with winds intensifying into the next week, possibly necessitating Small Craft Advisory conditions, especially from Drum Pt to Smith Pt. Furthermore, coastal flooding remains a potential hazard, with rising water levels expected to provoke minor coastal flooding around Annapolis by Monday as the water levels are expected to rise.
