Maryland – A muted dawn hangs over Baltimore as low clouds blur the skyline and leave a thin sheen on parked cars and sidewalks. The air feels cool and slightly unsettled, hinting at today’s incoming sprinkles that may grow steadier around the city. Anyone heading toward I-95 or the Harbor Tunnel should expect damp pavement and some brief visibility issues this afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office, scattered sprinkles develop later today as moisture lifts north. Forecasters expect mostly cloudy skies and highs in the low 60s, with a southeast breeze rising toward 8 mph by midafternoon. Residents running pre-Thanksgiving errands should watch for slick patches and give themselves extra time during the late-day uptick in showers.
Sunday brings a sharper wind shift. According to meteorologists, a west wind strengthens to 20 mph with higher gusts as highs approach 60. Clouds thin late morning, allowing pockets of sun to break through. However, breezy conditions may push leaves across lanes on the Jones Falls Expressway and create crosswind issues on elevated ramps.
Monday stays cooler and calmer. According to NWS guidance, highs land in the low 50s under mostly sunny skies. The air feels crisp and seasonally pleasant—ideal for early holiday travel or outdoor decorating. But models still show an early Winter Tease later in the week as a cold-to-mild-to-cold pattern sets up near Thanksgiving. A slight rain chance reappears Tuesday, and if colder layers sneak south, a brief mix north of the city cannot be fully dismissed.
Tuesday trends wetter after midday, bringing steadier rain that could slow evening travel. After all, November often delivers its trickiest swings just as holiday plans ramp up.
