Baltimore woke up to crystal-clear skies and mid 60s on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, with temperatures set to climb into the low to mid 80s this afternoon on a light north breeze. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect early this morning for Annapolis and other low-lying tidewater areas during high tide, but the bigger weather storyline is a fast warmup later in the week. Highs jump into the upper 80s on Thursday, June 4, and surge into the low to mid 90s by Friday and Saturday, so any weekend outdoor plans will feel noticeably hotter.
Coastal Flooding Lingers This Morning
A Coastal Flood Advisory is posted for MDZ014 through 9 AM EDT Wednesday, June 3, 2026, with Annapolis and nearby waterfront streets at risk for minor tidal flooding around the early high tide. The advisory is expected to expire later this morning, but tides should stay slightly elevated for the next few days. Boaters and anyone parking along low-lying streets should stay cautious, according to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington.
Heat Ramps Up Through The Weekend
Forecast highs climb steadily: near 84°F today, around 89°F on Thursday, June 4, about 93°F on Friday, June 5, and roughly 95°F on Saturday, June 6. Dew points are expected to hold in the 50s, so the heat index should track close to the actual air temperature. Even without extreme humidity, that level of heat can still pose risks for outdoor workers, infants, older adults, and pets.
How To Cope And Where To Cool Off
Dry, mostly sunny weather is anticipated through Saturday. A cold front could bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms by Sunday, June 7, with the probability of precipitation around 50%. If you will be outside later in the week, try to schedule strenuous activity for the cooler morning hours, drink plenty of water, and check in on vulnerable neighbors and pets. Baltimore City maintains a list of cooling centers and related resources for residents; see Baltimore City cooling centers for locations and hours before heading out.
