Baltimore, Maryland – Temperatures across the Baltimore–Washington region are expected to swing sharply this week, warming to near 80 degrees before cooling significantly by Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office, a brief stretch of springlike warmth will move into the region early this week before a strong cold front arrives midweek.
Forecast highs are expected to reach 60–73°F Monday, followed by 62–75°F Tuesday. Warmer air builds further Wednesday, with temperatures projected to climb into the 70–81°F range across parts of the region.
The warmer conditions will be short-lived.
The National Weather Service says a strong cold front is expected to cross the area from Wednesday into Thursday, bringing noticeably cooler air behind it. High temperatures Thursday are projected to fall back into the 35–56°F range, a drop of more than 20 degrees in some areas compared with midweek highs.
Forecasters described the temperature pattern as a “roller coaster” shift, with sunshine and warmer conditions early in the week followed by a rapid cooldown once the front moves through.
While the post did not outline precipitation or storm impacts, the agency emphasized the significant temperature change expected across the Baltimore–Washington forecast region.
Such swings are common during the late winter to early spring transition, when stronger fronts moving across the eastern United States can quickly replace warm air masses with cooler conditions.
The midweek warmth could be noticeable for commuters, students, and workers spending time outdoors before the cooler air arrives Thursday.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service as the week progresses.
