Baltimore residents might want to grab their jackets as temperatures continue to sit below the norm, with forecasters predicting a range of mid-30s to mid-40s for the evenings. The National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC notes a frost advisory is in effect until 9 AM for parts of northeastern Maryland, although dew points hovering in the upper 30s could mean frost remains patchy. Today's highs are expected to be similar to yesterday, pleasantly settled in the mid-50s to lower 60s.
Going into the new week, the weather scenario appears set for some variability. On Monday, as a high-pressure system moves towards Quebec, a low-pressure system, keeping to the south of Baltimore, will skirt the area from Monday into Tuesday, bringing minimal rain chances to places closer to central Virginia and southern Maryland. With northeasterly winds turning gustier on Tuesday, all waters are likely to need advisories, with some gusts of 25-30 kt possible, the forecast from the National Weather Service states.
For those looking ahead, the mid to later parts of the work week aren't shaping up much better. Forecasters warn of a cooler and wetter pattern with increased cloudiness and rain chances starting Wednesday into Thursday night's corner of the week. Deterministic and ensemble guidance suggest drier conditions post-Thursday night due to an eastward-moving upper-level low and coastal low feature. Baltimore should brace for highs in the 50s, and at higher elevations, snow could even make an appearance midweek, particularly at elevations above 3500 feet, according to the long-term forecast.
Folks living near the bay could witness rising tidal anomalies, with the potential of minor flood conditions by midweek - a result of the northeasterly winds that are expected to trap water in the bay, the forecast discussion noted. However, there seems to be a glimmer of hope with High pressure projected to build from the southeast heading into next weekend, so Baltimoreans may finally break out of this chillier, drearier pattern soon.
