Baltimore steps out into full sunshine this morning, with mild readings that will climb into the upper 70s by afternoon. It is a classic teaser of a spring day: warm and dry for now, with a wavering frontal boundary already lining up the odds for late-week storms and a cooler, wetter weekend.
Afternoon Sun, Quiet Night Before The Shift
Skies stay mostly sunny through the afternoon, with a high near 79°F and a light north breeze around 5 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Tonight looks calm and comfortable, turning partly cloudy with a low near 58°F. If you have evening plans, this is the night to enjoy them before the pattern starts to unravel.
Friday Storms Could Snag The Evening Commute
On Friday, April 24, 2026, that wavering frontal boundary becomes the main player, bumping up the chances for afternoon and evening showers and a few thunderstorms, mainly between about 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Forecasters peg the chance of precipitation near 30 percent, and any storm that pops could kick out gusts near 40 mph and brief, heavy downpours that may slow the ride home. If you are banking on outdoor plans Friday evening, build in a backup plan and a little extra travel time.
Weekend Turns Cooler, With Plenty Of Rain
Saturday, April 25, 2026, flips the script to cooler and wetter: widespread rain showers are likely, with a high near 62°F and roughly an 80 percent chance of precipitation. Saturday night keeps the showers around with a low near 49°F, and Sunday, April 26, 2026, stays mostly cloudy with scattered showers and a high near 63°F. Riders should keep an eye on local transit in case of any weather-related slowdowns — check MTA service alerts before you head out.
Early Next Week: Brief Break, Then More Showers
Monday, April 27, 2026, trends drier and a bit milder, with highs in the mid-60s, before another round of showers and thunderstorms arrives Tuesday, April 28, 2026. Keep the umbrella close through the weekend and into early next week, and continue to follow the National Weather Service for updates if storms start to look stronger than currently forecast.
