Baltimore and the surrounding region can expect a shift in temperatures and wind patterns as we head through the weekend into next week. A report from the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington gives us a clear, no-frills look at what’s happening up in the sky. High-pressure stability to the north is about to slowly give way to a warm front and a chance of showers midweek.
The weather is set firmly on their side for those looking to enjoy a crisp but sunny Saturday. Although persistent, the wind isn't likely to knock over trash cans, blowing what the National Weather Service describes as relatively light, 5 to 10 knots out of the northwest. The cooler air will likely keep temperatures down with highs in the low to mid-60s and even chillier for folks higher up slopes. Prepare to bundle up tonight if you are going out, though—thermometers are expected to dip down into the 30s.
Come Sunday and Monday, the skies remain generous with sunshine initially before clouds begin to gather in anticipation of a warm front set to make its presence felt. According to the National Weather Service's report, daytime highs will cozy up in the upper 50s to 60s, while nighttime lows may not be quite as biting, particularly on Monday.
For pilots and sailors, the news is good with "prevailing VFR conditions" and forecasted de-escalation of winds on the water. The waters will stay relatively calm right into the start of the week, with the National Weather Service forecasting shifts from northwesterly breezes today to an easterly and eventually southerly flow by Monday. Mariners should brace for advisories again on Tuesday as the winds pick up strength with the offshore high-pressure system pumping more vigor.
