Baltimore, Maryland – Temperatures climbing into the upper 50s and low 60s will continue across the Mid-Atlantic through Thursday, with increasing rain chances late week and cooler air returning by Sunday.
According to the US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, high pressure will keep conditions relatively dry and mild through midweek. Afternoon highs are forecast between 52 and 61 degrees Tuesday, rising into the upper 50s and lower 60s Wednesday and Thursday — roughly 10 to 15 degrees above seasonal averages.
Patchy dense fog is possible early Tuesday morning before dissipating. Drivers along Interstate 95, Interstate 70 and Interstate 81 may encounter brief reductions in visibility during the early commute.
Scattered showers are expected Wednesday and Thursday, with more widespread precipitation possible Friday into the weekend as a cold front approaches from the west. Rain chances Thursday are near 60 percent in some areas, including Baltimore, Washington and Frederick.
Forecasters note uncertainty late in the weekend as colder air filters back into the region. There is potential for wintry weather during the second half of the weekend, though details remain unclear.
Commuters along I-95, I-66 and I-270 should monitor updates as rain and falling temperatures could impact travel late Friday into Saturday.
The warm stretch offers a brief break from winter conditions before temperatures trend closer to seasonal norms Sunday into early next week.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed as forecast details evolve.
