As the residents of Baltimore brace for a potentially soggy end to the workweek, the forecast from the National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC has outlined what to expect weather-wise in the coming days. According to their latest area forecast discussion, wedging high pressure will maintain dry and cloudy conditions through Thursday night, before a low-pressure system sweeps in to bring rain on Friday and into the evening.
The incoming rain isn't expected to make a dramatic entrance, with only light precipitation anticipated. Amounts of 0.10-0.25" are expected with locally higher amounts possible in the terrain, the National Weather Service explained. A cold front trailing the system is slated to clear things up by midday Saturday, offering mild temperatures due to a delay in the arrival of colder air. It won't be until Saturday night that the mercury is forecasted to drop, with predicted lows in the 20s and 30s.
Looking ahead to the following week, dry conditions should take hold on Sunday and last through Monday morning, thanks to high pressure dominating over the region. However, another cold front will be hot on its heels, increasing the chance of precipitation by Monday afternoon and continuing through Wednesday. Overall, beneficial rain showers are expected on Tuesday, with showers becoming more isolated in nature on Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported.
Mariners should also take note of the shifting conditions. While light winds and cloudy skies are forecasted through Thursday night, winds are expected to pick up slightly and veer southerly as the weekend approaches. The National Weather Service indicates that Small Craft Advisories (SCAs) could be a possibility from late Friday through Saturday. But as high pressure builds again Saturday night into Sunday, conditions at sea are projected to calm down with southerly winds on Sunday, turning westerly by Monday.
