Baltimore is starting Thursday warm and damp, with temperatures around 64 degrees and humidity near 100% before scattered showers move through the morning. The mercury should climb to about 75 degrees, but the city's mild stretch is heading into a wetter turn after a notably dry spell.
Showers Fade, Then Rain Returns Tonight
Rain chances are highest Thursday morning. At terminals, winds late Thursday morning and early afternoon are forecast at 10 to 15 knots, with gusts up to 20 knots. The rain should ease into a lull this afternoon and early evening, but another round arrives Thursday night with showers and possible thunderstorms, a low around 61, and 0.25 to 0.50 inch of rain possible along and just east of I-95, including Baltimore, with lesser totals farther west. The updated outlook sharpens the timing from an earlier Hoodline forecast, while the National Weather Service places steadier rain along and east of I-95 late Thursday into Friday.
Friday Stays Gray Before Weekend Reset
Friday brings an 80% chance of precipitation, with patchy fog, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 70. Friday night should be drier, with temperatures dropping to the upper 30s to upper 40s behind the front. Saturday then brings mostly sunny skies, a high near 62, and northwest winds that will make the weekend feel noticeably cooler.
Sunny Stretch Arrives Next Week
Sunday looks sunny with a high near 62, followed by another sunny day Monday near 63 degrees. Tuesday should be the mildest day of the next workweek at around 67, while Veterans Day is expected to have a high in the low 60s. Overnight lows will range from the upper 30s to upper 40s around the front, then in the 30s and 40s later.
Waterfront Winds Remain A Concern
Boaters should note that a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through 7 p.m. Thursday on nearby waters, with southerly gusts of 20 to 25 knots ahead of the front. Additional small-craft conditions are likely Saturday and Sunday as northwest gusts reach roughly 29 to 35 mph. For land-based plans, wet roads, reduced visibility and a few brief downpours are the main concerns rather than a major washout.
