Baltimore residents can expect a sunny weekend ahead with temperatures climbing to the comfortable upper 70s and lower 80s, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC notes that the clear skies are due to high pressure at the surface, which is moving offshore today, while upper-level ridging strengthens above.
Bringing a slightly warmer airmass into the area, after high pressure shifts offshore, "winds will become light out of the south to southeast," setting a stage for a serene transition into fall. As the night falls, the forecast anticipates the formation of patchy fog, particularly in sheltered river valleys, with low temperatures settling in the upper 40s to mid-50s.
Looking ahead to Sunday through Monday night, high pressure positioned offshore and robust upper ridging will maintain this spell of dry weather. "Our stretch of dry weather will continue as a result, with mostly sunny skies each day and mostly clear skies each night," according to the National Weather Service. Southerly winds are expected to sustain above-normal temperatures with daytime highs lingering in the lower 80s.
By Tuesday, warm conditions will prevail, especially east of the Appalachian Mountains, with increasing clouds potentially developing into showers in that region. A cold front will make its way through Baltimore midweek, leading to a potential mix of showers and thunderstorms. The weather service predicts temperatures will be close to average due to cloud cover and showers, ushering in a chillier air mass from Canada by the week's end.
Aviation and marine activities seem set to proceed without significant weather disruptions through Wednesday. Although some MVFR conditions may arise due to showers near MRB and CHO on Tuesday night. After the cold front's passage, it's likely the waters will see Small Craft Advisories come Wednesday night with stronger northwest winds.
No coastal flooding seems imminent, as tidal anomalies have stabilized after a recent decline. However, a heedful watch remains on more sensitive locations that may reach Action Stage, though no immediate concern is indicated by the National Weather Service forecast.
