Baltimore is starting Friday, August 14, near 79 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, with muggy air and barely-there northeast winds. The city will warm to about 88 degrees before a small chance of showers arrives late in the afternoon.

Most of the day should stay dry, but a shower could develop after 3 p.m., followed by a slight chance of thunderstorms into the early evening. The chance of rain is about 20%, with less than a tenth of an inch expected, according to the National Weather Service.

Saturday Stays Mostly Sunny

Saturday looks like the better outdoor-planning day, with mostly sunny skies and another high near 88 degrees. A few showers could move in after 2 a.m. Sunday, though the overnight rain chance remains only 30%.

Sunday Brings The Week’s Biggest Storm Risk

Drier weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday, both sunny with highs in the upper 80s, before another hot, storm-capable day arrives Thursday with a high near 91.
