Baltimore is starting Friday, September 18, with a mix of sun and clouds, but the day will warm quickly. The city should reach about 86 degrees this afternoon as a north wind picks up, while rain stays unlikely and the air gradually turns less humid.
A few isolated showers could develop farther north of Baltimore, with thunderstorms mainly in Central Virginia to the south and southwest. The Baltimore forecast is mostly dry through Friday, according to the National Weather Service. Friday night will be cooler, with a north-to-northeast flow.
Saturday Offers The Better Outdoor Window
Saturday looks like the calmest day of the weekend, with partly sunny skies and a high near 80. Northeast winds around 7 mph should keep conditions comfortable, though clouds will build Saturday night and bring a slight chance of showers after 2 a.m.
The improved Saturday outlook is a notable change from the stormier setup described in Hoodline’s previous forecast. The latest outlook shifts the main weather concern to Sunday, when rain showers are likely before 5 p.m., followed by a stronger chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Sunday Storms Kick Off A Cooler, Wetter Stretch
Sunday’s high should reach about 82 degrees, with showers and thunderstorms possible Sunday afternoon and overnight. Anyone making outdoor plans should be ready for interruptions, especially later in the day and overnight, when thunderstorms are expected to remain possible.
Rain chances continue Monday through Thursday as a cooler air mass settles over the region. Monday could reach the 70s, with showers possible, while Tuesday brings cooler temperatures, daily showers and north-to-northeast winds; Wednesday may top out near 66, with additional showers and breezier conditions.
Thursday brings another chance of showers. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for Baltimore in the current forecast, though the week ahead looks considerably cooler and more unsettled than Friday’s warm afternoon.
