Baltimore residents can expect a wet start to their week, with showers dominating today's forecast, as the National Weather Service reported. The day will see a high near 51 degrees and a strong chance of precipitation at 90%, with new rainfall amounting to between a tenth and a quarter of an inch possible. A northeast wind will stir around seven mph, so don't forget your raincoat if you're stepping out.
The evening will offer a slight reprieve, with showers tapering off before 11 pm and the clouds beginning to give way to clearer skies, leading to a low around 36 degrees, although the wind will shift northwest, picking up to 5 to 10 mph after midnight. The chance of rain will drop to 30%, offering a glimpse of drier times ahead for those weather-weary folks looking ahead.
The National Weather Service promises sunnier skies on Tuesday, projecting a high near 50 degrees. This is complemented by a northwest wind blowing at 13 to 16 mph, which could produce gusts as high as 30 mph. So, while the sun may be out, it will be accompanied by a sharp, nipping wind.
For those longing for uninterrupted star-gazing, Tuesday night will be mostly clear, with low temperatures hovering around 33 degrees. However, the northwest wind will maintain its presence, blowing 5 to 13 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 18 mph. Residents can anticipate more of the brilliant sun come Wednesday, with high temperatures expected to climb to a pleasant 56 degrees and a gentler southwest breeze rolling in at 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon.
As the week continues, the weather narrative will take a turn on Thursday. There is a 40% chance of showers and a high near 62 degrees, a likely prelude to Thursday night's weather, which is predicted to hold more showers. Temperatures will remain on the milder side, though, with an overnight low around 51 and a 70% precipitation probability.
Wet conditions are set to persist into Friday, implying the likelihood of showers. With mostly cloudy conditions and a high near 66 on Friday night, however, Baltimoreans will grapple with yet another possibility of showers, as the chance of precipitation remains steady at 50% and temperatures dip to 48 degrees.
Those planning next weekend should note a 30% chance of showers for Saturday paired with a partly sunny sky and a high near 62, transitioning into a mostly cloudy Saturday night with a low of around 47 degrees. As the National Weather Service noted, Sunday could bring Baltimore a partly sunny day with a high near 64, presenting a chance for a mild and enjoyable end to the week.
