Baltimore is waking up to a chilly, unsettled Saturday, with light rain moving in after a cool start and north winds building through the day. The weekend forecast stays gray and blustery before warmer, calmer weather returns next week.

Rain Arrives After The Morning Commute

Rain becomes likely after 9 a.m. Saturday, with cloudy skies and a high near 66 degrees, according to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington. North winds around 17 mph could gust as high as 33 mph, while rainfall totals may reach a tenth to a quarter of an inch. The rain chance rises through the afternoon, making umbrellas and a warmer layer useful companions for outdoor plans.

Sunday Stays Gray And Windy

Saturday night brings a 50% chance of additional light rain, cloudy skies and a low around 57 degrees. Sunday looks wetter, with an 80% rain chance, a high near 65 and northwest winds of 15 to 18 mph with gusts up to 31 mph. That is a notable escalation from Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which called for lighter rain chances and a milder weekend setup.

Warmer, Quieter Weather Returns Monday

Rain chances drop sharply Monday, although mostly cloudy skies may linger with a high near 70 degrees. Tuesday should turn partly sunny near 74, followed by mostly sunny skies and highs around 77 Wednesday and 79 Thursday. In other words, Baltimore’s weather is saving its nicer outdoor window for the middle of next week.
