Baltimore is starting Friday with sunshine, temperatures around 56 degrees and a forecast high near 64. The day should stay dry and comfortable, but the city’s next few nights will bring a sharper taste of fall, with temperatures dipping into the 40s.

Sunny Friday Leads Into A Chilly Weekend

A northeast breeze near 7 mph will keep Friday feeling crisp, even as afternoon sunshine makes outdoor plans appealing. Skies will stay mostly clear tonight, with temperatures falling to around 45 degrees and winds easing to between calm and 5 mph.

Saturday looks much the same: sunny, dry and near 63 degrees, followed by a clear night with a low around 42. The National Weather Service says frost or near-freezing temperatures are possible in colder areas, especially away from Baltimore’s urban core and west of Interstate 95.

Sunday Brings More Sunshine Before A Monday Warm-Up

Sunday should reach about 65 degrees under sunny skies, with another chilly night near 42. Monday then turns milder, climbing to around 71 degrees with plenty of sunshine — a small warm-up before another mostly sunny day near 68 on Tuesday.

The dry pattern is expected to hold through much of next week. Wednesday should be partly sunny near 63 degrees, while Thursday looks mostly sunny near 67, with only a minimal chance of rain late in the period.

Waterfront Residents Should Watch Tides

Baltimore city has no active weather advisory in the forecast, but elevated water levels remain a concern in some Chesapeake communities. The National Weather Service says minor tidal flooding could return at vulnerable locations over the weekend as northeast winds combine with higher astronomical tides.

That outlook is a meaningful refinement from Thursday’s Baltimore forecast, with the latest update showing a warmer Monday and a clearer frost concern outside the city. For Baltimore residents, the weekend takeaway is simple: sunglasses by day, a jacket after sunset.
