According to the latest weather forecasts, Baltimore residents should expect a wet and windy week. Showers will start this afternoon, and winds will pick up speed each day. Today's high is projected to be around 69 degrees Fahrenheit, with an 80% chance of precipitation. South winds will blow at 6 to 13 mph, with gusts that could reach as high as 23 mph, reported the National Weather Service. The incoming rain could accumulate between a quarter and a half an inch.
The rain isn't expected to let up until tonight, before 11 pm, with a low temperature dropping to around 38 degrees. The northwest wind is set to increase, blowing at 8 to 16 mph and potentially gusting up to a burly 30 mph. Once again, the chance of precipitation will stand at 80%, and newer, albeit lesser, precipitation ranging between a tenth and a quarter of an inch may occur. Friday will bring relief in the form of sunshine and a high of 57, but the wind remains steadfast, the northwest gusts could surge as much as 32 mph breathing a dry but blustery reprieve into our atmosphere.
