Baltimore, Maryland – Temperatures across Baltimore will climb back toward 90 degrees by Tuesday, keeping heat and humidity front and center for much of the week. After several nights of mild lows in the low 70s, residents should expect a run of mostly cloudy days with just enough breeze to offer brief relief.

According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday’s high will reach 89°F with clouds lingering overhead and a light southeast wind developing in the afternoon. Nights remain muggy, only dipping to the low 70s, with little chance for rain or cooling breezes. Wednesday and Thursday bring more of the same—mostly cloudy to mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs pushing 88°F, with overnight lows staying stubbornly above 70°F.

Roadways and city infrastructure face the usual summer stress: expect continued air quality advisories and elevated heat index values, especially during the peak of the afternoon. Schools and commuters should stay hydrated, check on vulnerable neighbors, and consider limiting strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest hours. By Friday, conditions remain steamy but mostly dry, with another round of partly sunny, near-90-degree weather heading into the weekend.

Looking ahead, a shift arrives late Sunday into Monday as showers and thunderstorms become possible, bringing a much-needed cooldown and a 30% chance of precipitation. Residents should monitor for additional weather alerts, as the heat is expected to ease early next week but may return later in August.
