Baltimore woke up Tuesday to patchy fog, a muggy low in the low 70s, and the kind of humidity that sticks with you. Drivers faced limited visibility on surface streets and bridges through mid-morning as low clouds slowly began to lift.
Foggy Commute Early
Low clouds and dew points in the upper 60s to low 70s will keep the air feeling heavy through the morning, with gradual clearing expected by late morning in most neighborhoods. Give yourself extra travel time, since bridges and shaded streets are likely to stay damp longer than sun-exposed roads.
Scattered Storms This Afternoon And Evening
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are most likely Tuesday afternoon and evening, with highs near 84°F and storm chances ramping up after about 2 p.m. The National Weather Service warns that storms could bring heavy downpours and repeated cells that are capable of localized flash flooding, and a Flash Flood Watch may be issued for parts of the area later today. For the latest timing and any watches, see the National Weather Service.
Tonight Into Midweek
The chance for scattered storms hangs on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with lows holding near 70°F and the greatest rain threat in the evening and early night. A more organized frontal passage is possible on Thursday and could bring more widespread showers and thunderstorms, followed by hotter readings later in the week.
Plan Ahead
Bring lightweight outdoor items inside, avoid driving through standing water, and check transit alerts before you head out. We updated this piece following yesterday’s coverage, so see our afternoon storms threaten flash floods for earlier context.
