Baltimore Basks in Sun Before Thursday Storms Slam City

Baltimore is waking up to a clear, comfortable Tuesday, with temperatures in the 60s early and sunshine carrying the city toward a high near 85 degrees. Northwest winds will stay light, making this one of the easier days for outdoor errands, walks and patio time.

Sunny Tuesday Gives Way To A Warmer Wednesday

The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington expects dry conditions Tuesday night, with mostly clear skies, a low around 65 and light northwest winds. Wednesday will remain mostly sunny and warmer, with temperatures reaching about 86 degrees, while east winds range from calm to around 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

Humidity will gradually build as the week moves along. A slight chance of showers arrives Wednesday evening, followed by a better chance of showers and thunderstorms later Wednesday night, with rainfall totals of a quarter to half an inch in some spots.

Thursday Brings The Week’s Biggest Storm Threat

Thursday is the clear weather pivot, with an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a high near 86 degrees. Rain may show up early, but storms and heavier downpours could continue through the afternoon and into Thursday night, bringing frequent lightning and locally gusty winds.

Forecasters say a few storms could become strong to severe, although the overall setup remains uncertain. Anyone with outdoor plans should have an indoor backup and move inside as soon as thunder is heard, while drivers should avoid water-covered roads during the heaviest downpours.

Weekend Forecast Trends Drier

Friday keeps a lower 30% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms before conditions improve. Saturday looks mostly sunny near 85 degrees, Sunday should reach about 87 with partly sunny skies, and Monday turns warmer again with a high near 89.

The latest outlook updates an earlier Hoodline forecast by narrowing the focus to Thursday’s storm threat while keeping the weekend generally quieter. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Baltimore.
