Forecasters warn Baltimore and the neighboring regions can expect to see weather changes in the coming days. According to the National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC, high-pressure northeast of the area will be the dominant force through Monday. An eye is kept on a low-pressure system lurking off the southeastern coast that could inch toward the Carolinas early this week. This system is tipped to potentially bring heavy rains and coastal flooding between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Today, the Sun did rise, but it battled through low clouds that formed early across parts of the region. Those clouds are anticipated to mix out late in the morning. The skies should stay mostly sunny by the afternoon despite increased cloud cover. However, the temperature might sit a few degrees cooler today due to the northeasterly wind trajectory—call it nature's air conditioning. Tonight will introduce denser clouds, especially over southern regions, while overnight temperatures stay mild, courtesy of the increasing cover.

High pressure's grip should hold through Monday evening, keeping conditions dry up until midnight. But as Monday rolls into Tuesday, the advancing high clouds make for mostly cloudy or overcast skies, signaling the approach of the low-pressure system off the coast. This system is expected to move inland late Monday night/Tuesday morning, with light rain or drizzle possibly hitting by Tuesday morning, as documented in the latest NWS update.

On the tidewater, persistent but light onshore flow is causing water levels to rise steadily. According to the latest NWS advisory, this could result in "minor coastal flooding becoming increasingly likely by Tuesday morning." The strength of the onshore flow, combined with the movement of the incoming low pressure, could lead to potential flooding in vulnerable areas late Monday through Tuesday. So, for those nested on the shoreline, it's time to be vigilant.
