Early Friday, Baltimore woke to patchy fog and a chill near 49°F, but that gray start is on borrowed time. The morning mist is expected to clear and open up to mostly sunny skies with a high near 73°F today (Friday, April 10, 2026). South winds will stay on the gentle side, around 2 to 10 mph, setting the stage for an easygoing afternoon for errands, dog walks, and anyone itching to escape the office for a bit.
Afternoon Sun And Light South Wind
Patchy fog should lift by midmorning, leaving mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs around 73°F across most neighborhoods. Light southerly breezes of 2 to 10 mph and gradually falling humidity should make it feel comfortably mild, according to the National Weather Service.
Small Craft Advisory Saturday
Out on the water, the vibe turns a bit rougher on Saturday. A Small Craft Advisory will be in effect for portions of Maryland tidal waters as northerly channeling behind a cold front kicks up gustier conditions. Boaters are urged to secure loose gear and think hard about staying in port during the advisory window. Similar marine impacts popped up earlier this week in a local update on thunder, downpours and stiff winds.
Big Warm-Up Early Next Week
Forecasters are eyeing a stretch of well-above-normal temperatures starting Monday, with highs near 80°F to kick off the workweek. Tuesday is expected to climb into the mid-80s, and Wednesday could push into the upper 80s. Those readings may challenge daily records on April 14 and 15, according to the National Weather Service. Most of the warm spell looks dry and sunny, though a cold front later next week could knock temperatures back and bring a few spotty showers.
What To Plan For
For Friday, it is about as close to a “no excuses” outdoor day as it gets, so enjoy the sunshine while the air is still comfortable. Looking ahead to the midweek heat, plan to carry water, seek shade when you can, and shift strenuous activities to the cooler hours of the morning or evening if you are sensitive to higher temperatures. Boaters and anyone organizing outdoor events should keep an eye on the latest forecast and posted advisories before heading out.
