Baltimore woke up to classic late-spring perfection on Friday, May 29, 2026: clear, sunny skies, a light northwest breeze, and an early temperature near 61°F. The sunshine is expected to hang around through the afternoon, nudging highs into the upper 70s around 79°F and delivering a comfortably dry setup for errands, lunch outside, or a few stolen hours at the park. Tonight should stay mostly clear with lows near 59°F, so plan on a light jacket once the sun dips.
Afternoon And Weekend Outlook
The rest of Friday is on track to stay bright, with northwest winds around 5 to 9 mph and no major troublemakers in the sky. The National Weather Service is calling for a high near 79°F on Friday, May 29, 2026, along with generally dry conditions that should carry through the weekend.
Out on the water, a Small Craft Advisory that was in effect overnight quietly expired at 4 a.m. EDT Friday, May 29, 2026. The break may be brief, though, with advisory-level winds expected to make a comeback on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Highs then should top out near 73°F, with north winds of 10 to 16 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. Temperatures are expected to slide back toward seasonal norms by midweek.

Boaters And Commuters
Boaters will want to give the marine forecast a close read before heading out on Saturday afternoon. If you operate a small craft, plan for choppy conditions and consider holding off on any trip that is more “nice to have” than “need to do.” On land, it is a good idea to secure patio furniture and outdoor umbrellas before the stronger winds arrive, and cyclists, along with drivers of high-profile vehicles, should be ready for gusts on exposed stretches and bridges. Otherwise, the weekend looks dry and comfortably cool, a solid setup for walks, outdoor dining, and evening plans, as long as you bring an extra layer after sunset.
