The forecast in Baltimore shows a stretch of variable weather conditions, starting with clear skies and expected to shift towards potential showers and even thunderstorms as the week progresses. According to the National Weather Service, today will be sunny with a high near 64 degrees and a brisk northwest wind ranging from 13 to 15 mph, with gusts reaching up to 24 mph. The clear skies are set to continue into the night, with the low dropping around 42 degrees, accompanied by a milder north wind.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, the city should see another mostly sunny day with identical high temperatures but with winds turning to originate from the southeast. Gusts might once again climb to roughly 23 mph. The chance for showers begins to sneak into the forecast Wednesday night, marked by a slight 20% chance of precipitation after 2 am, something to watch for anyone planning to be out late.
The likelihood of wet weather increases distinctly on Thursday. The forecast predicts a cloudy day with a high chance of showers, mainly after 2 p.m., warming up quite a bit with highs nearing 80 degrees. A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely after 2 a.m., says the forecast from the National Weather Service, which also warns of a significant 70% chance of precipitation Thursday night.
Consistency continues to be a theme as we head towards the weekend. Friday's weather is forecasted to remain cloudy, with showers likely mainly before 8 am and a reasonably high daytime temperature around 73 degrees. Shower chances carry through to Saturday, with a 60% chance during daytime hours. The trend of showers seems determined to persist, with the National Weather Service predicting showers likely Sunday and Sunday night, although the temperatures should remain relatively warm for the season.
The unsettled weather pattern may give way by the beginning of next week. As it stands, Monday might offer a break from the rain with only a 30% chance of showers and a mix of partly sunny conditions. The forecast suggests bringing an umbrella might be wise for Baltimore residents and visitors alike for much of the upcoming week.
