Baltimore is waking to humid, unsettled conditions Saturday, with showers expected before afternoon thunderstorms take over. The city should reach only about 79 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, making this a decidedly soggy start to the weekend.
Rain chances remain near 70%, with a quarter- to half-inch of rainfall possible. Showers could linger through late morning, briefly ease, then become more storm-focused between about 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
Storms Could Complicate Afternoon Plans
Temperatures should hover in the upper 70s through the afternoon while east winds run from 1 to 8 mph. The heaviest downpours could cause ponding on roads and isolated flash flooding, although no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Baltimore in the current forecast.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms is likely Saturday night, with a low near 68 degrees and another quarter- to half-inch of rain possible. Anyone heading outside should keep an eye on changing conditions, move indoors when thunder arrives and avoid driving through standing water.
Sunday Brings A Sunny Reset
Sunday looks like a sharp turnaround, with sunny skies and a high near 84 degrees. West winds could gust as high as 18 mph, while Sunday night should be mostly clear with a low around 65.
Dry Stretch Before Midweek Humidity Returns
Monday and Tuesday stay sunny, with highs near 82 and 84 degrees, respectively, followed by another mostly sunny Wednesday near 86. Humidity and storm chances return Thursday, when showers and thunderstorms are likely, and Friday remains warm near 87 degrees with another chance of rain.
