Baltimore gets a mostly sunny Thursday, July 30, with temperatures climbing from the low 70s to a high near 86. A northwest breeze of 8 to 12 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph, should keep the day feeling less sticky than a typical late-July scorcher.
Dry Through Saturday
Thursday night will be mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to around 69. Friday turns sunnier and hotter with a high near 90, while Saturday stays partly sunny and reaches another 90 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Storm Chances Arrive Sunday
The pattern shifts Saturday night, when a 30% chance of showers arrives after 2 a.m. Showers and thunderstorms become likely Sunday, with a 60% chance of rain and a high near 86; storms remain possible Sunday night, when the rain chance rises to 70%.
Unsettled Start To Next Week
Monday keeps a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, followed by lower rain chances Tuesday and Wednesday as temperatures hold in the upper 80s. The forecast discussion says unsettled weather could linger into the middle of next week, but the severe-weather threat appears very low and the expected rainfall should not create flooding concerns.
Thursday through Saturday look like the best window for outdoor errands, waterfront walks and plans that need dry pavement. Sunday is the day to keep a flexible backup plan, especially for afternoon and evening activities when thunderstorms are most favored.
