Baltimore, MD – Thunderstorms could bring heavy downpours and lightning to Baltimore on Wednesday, with the greatest risk arriving between late morning and early evening. Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas and on busy commuter routes during the afternoon rush.
According to the National Weather Service, showers may begin before 11 a.m., with storms building in intensity by midday. Rain chances climb to 65% through the afternoon, and any storm could produce brief heavy rain and gusty winds. Winds will remain light, but saturated roads and reduced visibility could slow traffic along I-95, I-83, and city streets.
Storms are expected to taper off after sunset, with calmer conditions overnight. However, another round of showers is possible Thursday afternoon before a dry and sunny stretch takes over Friday into the weekend. Outdoor plans for Wednesday should be flexible, and residents are advised to avoid flooded intersections and secure outdoor items ahead of the storms.
This midweek system will be brief, with hotter and sunnier conditions returning Friday. More weather updates will be issued if storm severity increases.
