Baltimore is starting Tuesday in the low-to-mid 60s, but the city is headed for a mostly sunny 87-degree afternoon. The dry stretch holds through Wednesday before showers and thunderstorms return Thursday, followed by a cooler, less humid Friday.

Dry Heat Builds Through Wednesday

Tuesday should stay rain-free, with light southwest winds and mostly sunny skies. Temperatures fall to around 68 Tuesday night, then climb to near 89 Wednesday under sunny skies, with southwest gusts reaching up to 20 mph.

The National Weather Service expects dry conditions through midweek as warmer air settles in. Wednesday will be the breezier day, so patios and park plans look good, though umbrellas will not be needed for rain.

Thursday Brings Afternoon Showers And Storms

Thursday is the week's main weather pivot, with a high near 90 and a 60% chance of precipitation. Rain showers are most likely between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., followed by a chance of thunderstorms into the evening.

The weather service says the overall severe-weather threat appears limited, but any storm could still produce gusty winds. Thursday night stays unsettled, with showers and thunderstorms possible before 2 a.m. and a low around 69.

Friday Offers A Cooler Reset

A cold front brings a noticeable change Friday, when mostly sunny skies and a high near 83 arrive with less humidity. The forecast turns warmer again over the weekend, with Saturday near 83 and a 30% chance of afternoon showers, followed by Sunday near 87 with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

The updated outlook sharpens the late-week timing from Hoodline's earlier Baltimore forecast, making Thursday the day to keep a closer eye on the sky. For now, Baltimore gets two more dry days before the weather turns stormier.
