Baltimore, MD – A dramatic difference between daytime warmth and overnight cold is expected across parts of Maryland, northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C., region this week, with temperatures potentially reaching 70 degrees Tuesday before falling as low as 26 degrees in the coldest locations.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office, dry and seasonably warm weather will dominate the region through Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11, although chilly nighttime temperatures will remain a concern.
Tuesday Could Bring a 44 Degree Temperature Difference Monday begins with partly cloudy skies and daytime temperatures ranging from 45 to 65 degrees across the forecast area.
Overnight lows are expected to fall between 30 and 45 degrees, with some colder locations approaching freezing.
Tuesday, November 10, brings a noticeable warmup as afternoon highs climb between 52 and 70 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
However, temperatures Tuesday night could plunge into the 26 to 39 degree range.
That represents a potential 44 degree difference between the highest daytime temperature and lowest overnight temperature across the broader forecast region, although individual communities may experience smaller swings.
Freezing Temperatures Possible in Colder Locations Residents in colder valleys and rural communities should prepare for temperatures approaching or falling below freezing.
Sensitive outdoor plants could be vulnerable where temperatures drop into the 20s.
Motorists should also remain mindful of colder early morning conditions, particularly in sheltered valleys and higher elevations.
Veterans Day Forecast Remains Mild Wednesday, November 11, brings another relatively mild afternoon, with highs ranging from 54 to 69 degrees.
Partly cloudy skies are expected, while overnight temperatures should remain between 34 and 46 degrees.
The forecast does not indicate widespread precipitation through Wednesday, making outdoor Veterans Day activities generally favorable.
Residents should remember that regional temperature ranges cover multiple elevations and communities. Actual conditions in Baltimore, Washington and surrounding counties will vary.
