Sunday, June 7, Baltimore woke to sticky, mostly sunny skies and temperatures lounging in the low 70s. Forecasters say a stray shower or two could sneak through late morning, roughly between 11 a.m. and noon, before the sun muscles back in and sends thermometers soaring into the low 90s, with a high near 93°F. Gusty west-to-northwest breezes will kick up later, making it feel even hotter on exposed streets and bridges.
Afternoon Heat and Gusty Winds
West winds of 3 to 15 mph will be the baseline this afternoon, with gusts topping out near 23 mph. The shower odds stay low at about 20%, and any rain that does fall should stay under a tenth of an inch. According to the National Weather Service, most neighborhoods should be back to full sunshine by early afternoon, with heat index values set to climb later in the week.
Tonight And Monday
Tonight brings a quieter setup: mostly clear skies with a low around 67°F and north winds running 6 to 13 mph, occasionally gusting near 22 mph. Monday taps into a cooler onshore flow, keeping the high near 82°F with lighter east winds, offering a brief breather before hotter, stickier conditions return by midweek.
Boaters And Waterfront
A Small Craft Advisory is posted from about 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for parts of the upper Chesapeake and nearby waterways, so expect choppy conditions and gusty showers that can flare up quickly. We broke down the marine advisory and the broader heat setup in our earlier coverage of the advisory and weekend heat, which also links to local cooling-center information.
Plan Ahead
If you are plotting outdoor time, morning hours are your best friend. Hydrate, build in some shade or air-conditioned breaks, and keep a weather app handy this afternoon. Those brief, gusty cells could still deliver sudden downpours and strong winds, especially for anyone caught out on the water or in open areas.
