Baltimore is bracing for a change in the weather, as high pressure builds following the exit of low pressure today. The National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC reports that residents can expect a cessation of rain this morning, with clouds likely lingering throughout the day before clearing in the evening. This respite from the wet weather is anticipated to last through the weekend into Monday, as skies clear up and temperatures hold steady in the 60s on Sunday, dropping slightly on Monday.
The upcoming week introduces another dynamic, with a warm front pushing northward across the region, ushering in some light rain come Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday will be seasonable with temperatures in the lower to middle 50s, according to the National Weather Service details. Moreover, as a cold front follows on Wednesday, the possibility of rain showers extends into the night before colder, drier air takes hold. Temperatures are set to climb midweek, peaking in the mid-60s outside of the mountain regions, before the inevitable drop associated with the incoming high-pressure system. The latter part of the week forecasts a chilling decline, indicating highs in the lower to mid-30s in mountainous areas and 40s elsewhere.
Flight conditions should be aware of the changeable sky. Today starts with low cloud ceilings and areas of rain, which might delay improvements in visibility, with clouds expected all day long. VFR conditions are anticipated to prevail Tuesday through Wednesday night, although pilots should be cautious about potential MVFR conditions if Tuesday's rain intensifies.
Marine activities are similarly affected by the shifting fronts, with a Small Craft Advisory in effect from 10 AM this morning to 7 PM EST this evening for ANZ533-534-537-541-543, as noted by the National Weather Service. Calmer waters are expected Tuesday through Wednesday night, that is, until the cold front starts stirring the pot once again.
