Baltimore is waking up to clear skies and temperatures around 51 degrees Wednesday morning, with sunshine expected to push the city to about 72 by afternoon. The calm, crisp start gives way to a mild stretch that lasts through Saturday before a wetter pattern moves in for the holiday weekend.
Southwest winds will increase to around 9 mph during the afternoon, but rain is not expected Wednesday. The National Weather Service forecasts another sunny day Thursday with a high near 79 and gusts up to 18 mph, followed by a sunny Friday near 75.
Sunny Stretch Holds Through Saturday
Thursday night will be mostly clear with a low around 53, while Friday night turns partly cloudy and settles near 56 degrees. Saturday should remain mostly sunny with a high around 74, offering the best window for outdoor plans before clouds and humidity build.
The latest outlook sharpens the weekend timing compared with Hoodline's earlier forecast. Overnight lows will stay relatively mild, ranging from the low to upper 50s before the rain arrives.
Rain And Thunderstorms Take Over Sunday
Sunday brings the big change, with rain showers possible from about 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. before showers and thunderstorms become likely. The chance of precipitation reaches 60% during the day, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 71.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue Sunday night, when the rain chance rises to 80% and temperatures dip only to around 64. Monday remains unsettled with likely rain showers, a high near 74 and a 70% rain chance, while Tuesday should turn partly sunny near 73.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Baltimore. Still, anyone making weekend plans should keep an indoor backup ready for Sunday and Monday, especially once thunderstorm chances increase.
