Baltimore starts Thursday, Sept. 17, warm and humid, with temperatures in the low 70s before a round of showers and a few thunderstorms develops later. The city could reach 89 degrees, making this one of those days when the umbrella and water bottle both earn their keep.
Showers Early, Storms Late Thursday
Isolated showers are possible through daybreak, with afternoon convection possible. The National Weather Service says isolated showers and thunderstorms could become more likely from late afternoon into the evening; the overall rain chance is 30%, with no specific rainfall total provided.

Friday And Saturday Offer A Break
