Anticipated pleasant weather continues through Friday and extends into the weekend in Maryland
Forecast for Baltimore's Upcoming Weekend and Beyond
Baltimore, Maryland residents can look forward to a pleasant weekend with mostly sunny and storm-free weather, according to the latest forecast. High temperatures will be in the lower to middle 90s°F, making it warm but manageable, with humidity staying moderate. Overnight lows will dip into the 60s, with some upper 50s possible in western parts of Maryland.
The weather will remain warm and sunny through the weekend, with high pressure settling in overhead by Sunday, ensuring a dry weekend. The onshore breeze will help keep things cooler and support low cloud development overnight into Friday morning, and again Friday night.
However, the heat wave will continue into early next week, with highs potentially reaching mid-90s°F Sunday into early next week. Humidity will rise again by midweek, making the weather more uncomfortable. Rain chances are mainly on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Tuesday having isolated showers or thunderstorms primarily west of Baltimore, and Wednesday having a higher chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms.
While severe weather is not widespread expected, some storms could produce strong gusty winds and heavy downpours due to high humidity. Wednesday is expected to be the most uncomfortable day humidity-wise.
A weak cold front will pass early next week, then stall south of the region, influencing weather patterns and rain chances during that period. There may be a little fog early Saturday morning, but overall, these days will be pleasant for outdoor activities.
Beyond Saturday, it's expected to be a really nice couple of days with minimal cloud cover. However, there is mention of a possible offshore tropical system that could cause rough surf and rip currents along the eastern seaboard, but no direct impacts are expected in Maryland other than beach hazards. A system well offshore won't have a direct impact on Maryland's weather, but some breezy conditions could linger near the Bay, and there might be minor coastal flooding in typical spots during high tide.
Overall, the weekend looks warm, sunny, and low risk for storms, while the following week will have increasing humidity and periodic storm chances mainly midweek.
Crime reports in Baltimore are generally low during warm, sunny weekends, as residents often spend time outdoors and the weather discourages indoor activities that might lead to criminal incidents. However, news discussions may focus on the upcoming weather-forecasting predictions later in the week, as a potential tropical system could affect coastal regions and create beach hazards, despite minimal direct impact on Maryland's weather.
