Baltimore woke up Sunday, July 26, 2026, to mostly sunny skies and a comfortable 69°F, the kind of morning that practically begs you to get outside. Temperatures are headed for the mid‑80s this afternoon, with just a light southeast breeze to stir the humid air. It will feel warm and summery, not blustery. Tonight, though, the mood could shift, as showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to pop up after sunset and may briefly crash any outdoor evening plans.
Today Through Tuesday
Expect plenty of sunshine through the afternoon with a high near 86°F and gentle southeast winds around 0–6 mph. After about 7 p.m., a chance of showers and thunderstorms moves in, with overnight lows near 68°F and rainfall amounts generally on the light side. The bigger concern arrives Tuesday, July 28, 2026, when a stronger system is forecast to bring a higher risk of organized storms capable of damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours. If you have plans later in the day, especially Tuesday afternoon and evening, a backup option is smart, according to the National Weather Service.
Midweek Outlook And Tides
Once Tuesday’s front moves through, drier air should filter in by mid to late week, with daytime highs settling back into the low‑to‑mid 80s. On the water, a combo of southerly winds and an astronomic high tide early next week could nudge water levels high enough to push typically sensitive spots like Annapolis into minor coastal flooding early Tuesday, July 28, 2026. Waterfront residents and boaters should keep tabs on tide forecasts and storm updates from the National Weather Service.
What To Do
If you are banking on outdoor time this evening or on Tuesday, plan to shift activities earlier in the day or line up an indoor alternative. Tie down or bring in loose outdoor items before storms arrive, take a quick look at radar before heading out, and do not shrug off lightning or sudden heavy rain. As always, if you can hear thunder, you should head indoors.
