Baltimore is waking up to a damp Monday, with rain showers expected to taper before 9 a.m. and temperatures climbing from the low 60s toward a partly sunny high near 75. The rest of the week brings a quick taste of summer, followed by gusty winds, rain chances and a distinctly cooler weekend.
Northwest winds will gust around 20 to 25 mph Monday, while another quarter- to half-inch of rain is possible. The National Weather Service says conditions should improve from west to east as clouds break during the afternoon. The timing is a notable update from an earlier Hoodline forecast, which gave Monday a 70% chance of showers and a high near 74.
A Brief Warmup Arrives Tuesday
Monday night should turn mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 57 degrees and winds easing. Tuesday will be sunny and warm, with a high near 81. Wednesday looks even warmer, reaching about 85 under mostly sunny skies.
Late-Week Front Brings Rain And Wind
The quiet stretch starts to unravel Wednesday night, when a slight chance of showers returns. Thursday will be partly sunny with a high near 72 and a 20% chance of rain, while Friday brings a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 78.
Behind that front, temperatures will tumble. Saturday is expected to be mostly sunny but breezy, with a high near 57, followed by a chilly low around 39 Saturday night; Sunday should rebound slightly to a sunny high near 59.
Monday Plans Get A Better Afternoon
For Baltimore commuters and anyone with outdoor plans, the main nuisance is front-loaded: wet roads and gusty north winds early, followed by improving skies and a mild afternoon. The earlier flood watch has expired, and no watches, warnings or advisories are listed in the current forecast, but a rain jacket and a few extra layers will still be useful.
