Baltimore is starting Saturday in the low 70s, but the city is headed for a hot afternoon with partly sunny skies and a high near 90. Humidity will climb as southerly winds return, setting the stage for a much wetter stretch beginning Sunday. The current National Weather Service forecast lists no weather alerts for the city.
Saturday Stays Hot And Breezy
Saturday afternoon should remain mostly dry, with only a 1% chance of rain and southeast winds increasing from calm conditions to around 12 mph. Skies turn mostly cloudy Saturday night, with a low near 75 and south winds gusting as high as 20 mph.
Storms Arrive Sunday Afternoon
Showers and thunderstorms become possible after 2 p.m. Sunday, when the high is expected to reach 87, and the chance of rain rises to 50%. Rainfall totals could reach a quarter to a half-inch, with some storms producing heavier bursts.
Sunday night looks like the stormiest period, with a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms and another half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain possible. Repeated downpours could create localized flooding in poor-drainage and urban areas.
Active Weather Lingers Into Next Week
Monday brings another round of showers and thunderstorms, with rain likely before 11 a.m. and storms possible afterward. The high should reach 88, while the chance of precipitation stands at 80% during the day and again Monday night.
Scattered shower and thunderstorm chances continue from Tuesday through Friday, even as temperatures remain summerlike with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. The forecast discussion warns that some Sunday storms could produce damaging wind gusts, so outdoor plans may need a backup option.
