Baltimore is into a mild Tuesday afternoon under mostly sunny skies. The Inner Harbor was at 71 degrees early this afternoon, and the National Weather Service forecast a high near 71 with a southeast wind around 7 mph. The foggy start has given way to a mostly dry afternoon for outdoor errands, walks or lunch plans. The current Baltimore forecast and observation show the afternoon conditions and high.
The warmth is well above Baltimore’s early-November baseline. The National Weather Service’s 1991–2020 climate normals put the Nov. 3 high at 62°F, compared with forecast highs in the low-to-mid 70s Tuesday through Thursday. That makes the coming highs roughly 9 to 13 degrees above the daily normal; the Nov. 3 record high, however, is 80°F. Baltimore’s daily normals and records are based on the 1991–2020 period.
Warm, Dry Weather Holds Through Wednesday
Dry conditions are expected late Tuesday, with south winds of 0 to 7 mph. Wednesday fog should lift by 10 a.m. before mostly sunny skies take over, with a high near 74 and light southerly winds.
Rain Arrives Thursday And Friday
The quiet stretch breaks Thursday, when rain is possible before 1 p.m. despite a high near 75, with a few thunderstorms possible. Thursday night brings rain likely, mainly after 1 a.m., with a 70% chance of precipitation. Friday looks wet and unsettled, with continued rain showers and a high near 72; the chance of precipitation is 80%. The latest National Weather Service forecast gives the updated timing and rain chances.
The rain is expected to be modest rather than a major washout: the Baltimore/Washington forecast office projects roughly a quarter to a half-inch of storm-total rain through Friday night. A separate trough could bring periods of showers late Sunday night into Monday, though the timing and placement remain uncertain. That unsettled outlook adds some caveat to the otherwise drier weekend forecast. The forecast office’s discussion outlines both systems and the rainfall estimate.
Weekend Turns Drier And Cooler
Saturday highs are expected in the 60s, with temporary clearing from Saturday afternoon into Sunday. A slight rain chance arrives Sunday night. Monday highs are forecast in the low 60s over metro areas, with a slight chance of rain. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Baltimore. The Baltimore point forecast has the updated weekend temperatures and rain chances; the Baltimore/Washington NWS office lists no active watches, warnings or advisories.
