Baltimore faces a chilly, overcast start to Wednesday, with a chance of rain before conditions begin to dry later. The high is forecast near 65 degrees. Northeast winds around 14 mph, with gusts as strong as 26 mph, will add to the brisk feel.
Wednesday’s High Is Below the September Normal
The forecast high near 65°F is below the normal high of 77°F for Sept. 23, according to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington.
Morning Showers Ease by Early Afternoon
The best chance for scattered showers is this morning, with rain possible until about 1 p.m. Amounts are expected to stay below a tenth of an inch. Clouds are forecast to hang on through the afternoon.
Clouds will remain widespread tonight as temperatures dip to about 53 degrees. Northeast winds of 8 to 14 mph could gust to 25 mph.
Drier Weather Arrives Thursday and Friday
Thursday is expected to bring partly sunny skies and a high near 68 degrees. Northeast winds around 13 mph may gust to 24 mph.
Friday’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and a high near 71 degrees. A north wind could still gust to around 24 mph, making the sunshine more comfortable than shaded spots.
Weekend Warmth, With Rain Chances to Watch
Saturday is forecast to be mostly sunny, with a high near 74 degrees. A slight chance of showers returns Saturday night. Sunday’s high should be around 72 degrees under partly sunny skies, with another small shower chance.
Mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures are expected early next week, with highs near 76 degrees Monday and 79 degrees Tuesday. Forecasters caution that the weekend rain and wind details could change as a coastal storm develops farther north, so Baltimore residents may want to revisit plans closer to the weekend.
