As the city wakes up to another day, Baltimore residents can expect to see temperatures climbing high, with the mercury expected to touch the 90s, but don’t ditch your umbrella just yet—a shower or thunderstorm might still pop up. According to the National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC, the day will mostly feature "just a few cumulus and cirrus clouds," suggesting a fair weather pattern for the majority of the day.
For those making late-night plans, tonight’s temperatures aren’t looking to give much respite from the heat witnessed during the day. Humidity's creeping higher and with light winds from the south, it's expected that lows will stay on the warmer side. "Temperatures today are expected to rise well into the 80s to near 90 for most," the National Weather Service reports, indicating a balmy end to the weekend. As for rain, there's only a slim chance, and it's mostly limited "northwest of a line from Westminster MD to Monterey VA" where a pop-up shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out.
The week's forecast brings a range of conditions starting Monday with a mix of heat, humidity, and potential for gusty winds in showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon into Monday night, partly due to an upper-level low near New England. Moving into Tuesday, the likelihood of precipitation seems to decrease with PoPs on the low side for now. However, the heat will not let up, with temperatures expected to soar into the middle to upper 90s by Wednesday, making for oppressive conditions when factoring in the humidity, with heat indices possibly reaching the low 100s.
If you’re living in one of Baltimore's vulnerable tidal areas, keep an eye out as there’s a slight uptick in tidal anomalies, but flooding is unlikely. Mariners should take note of a Small Craft Advisory in effect from 7 PM this evening to 4 AM EDT Monday for ANZ531>534-539>541-543. Stay updated with the latest forecasts and plan accordingly, your sun hats—or raincoats—will thank you.
