Sunday, March 1, 2026, is starting out chilly and blustery across Baltimore, with temperatures hovering near 38°F and isolated rain showers lingering before 9 a.m. Skies turn partly sunny later in the day, and the high should reach about 46°F. Northerly winds of 5-12 mph, gusting up to 20 mph, will make it feel colder, especially along the waterfront and on bridge crossings. Anyone heading out on the water can expect choppy conditions through the morning and into the afternoon.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Small boats, take note: the National Weather Service has a Small Craft Advisory in effect for Maryland waters from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, warning that northerly gusts near 20 mph will kick up choppy seas and brief lulls, according to the National Weather Service. Mariners are urged to seek safe harbor when possible and secure loose gear before heading out. On land, those gusts across exposed bridges could slow things down a bit, so do not be surprised if your afternoon drive takes a little longer than usual.
Monday Night Wintry Mix Possible
Forecasters say a light round of wintry precipitation could move in Monday night, March 2, into Tuesday morning, March 3, 2026, bringing the greatest risk for brief freezing rain and a thin glaze on untreated surfaces. The overall precipitation looks light, with most areas expected to see less than a half inch of snow and little to no ice accumulation. Still, colder spots northwest of I-95 and exposed bridges could turn slick during the Tuesday morning commute.

What To Expect This Week
After the wintry tease, temperatures rebound by midweek, with highs climbing into the 50s and near 60°F by Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Scattered rain chances return at times through the end of the week. If you are traveling Monday night into Tuesday, keep an eye on updated forecasts before you head out, since a small change in timing or temperature could mean the difference between plain rain, a bit of sleet, or a brief freezing event. Check official updates and local transit alerts for any changes that could affect the morning commute or marine operations.
