Baltimore is starting Thursday under low clouds, but the gray opening act should give way to a warm, mostly sunny afternoon. Temperatures are expected to climb to about 72 degrees, with no rain in the forecast.
Low clouds should lift by midday as winds turn southwest, according to the National Weather Service. The breeze will stay light, generally under 10 mph, making Thursday a good bet for outdoor errands, walks and lunch breaks.
Friday Brings More Sun And A Few Gusts
Friday looks even warmer, with sunny skies and a high near 75 degrees. Northwest winds will pick up during the day, with gusts of 23 to 29 mph likely around midday into midafternoon, so lightweight Halloween decorations may need a little extra help staying put.
Friday night will bring a fall chill, with lows in the upper 30s and 40s. The cooler air settles in just in time for Halloween weekend, though rain still will not be a major concern.
Halloween Stays Mostly Sunny And Dry
Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high near 64 degrees and light north winds. After dark, temperatures will fall to around 47 degrees as skies turn mostly cloudy, leaving trick-or-treaters with a dry but jacket-worthy evening.
Sunday will remain mild near 67 degrees, though clouds are expected to dominate. The updated outlook is cooler for Halloween and less aggressive on early-week rain than the earlier Baltimore forecast.
Clouds Build Next Week With Only Small Rain Chances
Monday should stay mostly cloudy with a high near 69 degrees, followed by sunny skies Tuesday with a high near 67. Rain chances remain low through Tuesday afternoon, with a ceiling of 30 percent or less through Tuesday night.
Wednesday is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 64 degrees, and rain chances may increase Wednesday or Thursday. For Baltimore residents planning the next several days, the practical forecast is simple: warm Thursday and Friday, cooler Halloween weather, and no major washout on the immediate horizon.
