Baltimore is waking up to a warm, humid Wednesday, with temperatures around 75°F before the city heads toward a partly sunny high near 88°F. A light northwest breeze should keep the morning relatively calm, and rain chances stay low through the afternoon.

The brief dry spell is the main story for Wednesday, following recent rounds of unsettled summer weather. The National Weather Service says a spotty shower or thunderstorm remains possible, but daytime rain chances are under 10% and any rainfall should be minimal.

Storm Chances Return Wednesday Night

A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives between 8 and 11 p.m. Wednesday, with partly cloudy skies and a low near 72°F. Winds will stay light from the west, generally between 1 and 5 mph.

Thursday will be hotter, with mostly sunny skies early and a high near 90°F. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase between roughly 2 and 5 p.m., then rise further Thursday night as clouds thicken, and the chance of precipitation reaches 40%.

Friday Brings The Week’s Wettest Stretch

Showers and thunderstorms are likely before 2 p.m. Friday, with additional chances through the afternoon. The high should reach about 86°F, with a 60% chance of rain overall; stronger storms could bring gusty winds or brief street flooding, although the exact timing and coverage remain uncertain.

Sunny Saturday Offers A Reset

Saturday looks like the week’s cleanest outdoor-weather day, with sunshine, a high near 86°F and an overnight low around 68°F. Storm chances return Sunday and Monday, with highs climbing to about 86°F and 89°F, before mostly sunny, quieter conditions return Tuesday.

No watches, warnings, or advisories are listed for Baltimore Wednesday. Outdoor plans look favorable for the afternoon and especially Saturday, while Thursday through Monday will call for a backup plan and a quick move indoors if thunder arrives.
