Baltimore started Saturday under cool, mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures hovering near 55°F and a light breeze out of the east. Clouds will continue to thicken through the day, and showers are likely by late afternoon, with steadier rain moving in overnight into Sunday, April 26, 2026. Highs Saturday will reach the low 60s before slipping back into the mid-50s for much of Sunday.
Rain Tonight Into Sunday
A stalled frontal boundary just offshore will help scattered showers fill in late Saturday and become more widespread overnight. Many neighborhoods can expect around a half-inch of rain by Sunday morning, with locally higher totals in any heavier bands that set up. Wet streets and reduced visibility are likely for Saturday evening travel and early Sunday errands, so it will not be the driest time to be out and about.
What To Know For The Commute
Plan for a slower go Saturday evening and again early Sunday, as periods of rain may add a few minutes to both driving and transit times. An umbrella and a water-resistant layer are smart bets if you have outdoor plans, since pockets of heavier rain could briefly reduce visibility and produce minor delays. Local transit agencies sometimes post weather-related service updates, so it is worth checking before longer trips.
Marine And Tidal Impacts
Small craft advisories are in effect for Chesapeake Bay and local tidal waters from 8 a.m. Saturday, April 25, through 6 p.m. Sunday, April 26, with gusts of roughly 25 to 30 knots expected on the bay and choppy conditions near the harbor. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast, many spots could reach Action Stage at high tide this weekend, so minor tidal flooding on low-lying waterfront streets is possible. Mariners and waterfront residents should secure loose gear and avoid nonessential trips on the water during the advisory period.
Looking Ahead
A brief break in the wet pattern is likely Monday and Tuesday before another low-pressure system brings a more widespread round of showers Wednesday night into Thursday. The developing setup was previewed earlier in the week in a related post, Baltimore Basks Today, Braces For Rainy Weekend Cooldown. Temperatures are expected to recover into the upper 60s by early next week before that midweek system makes its arrival.
