Baltimore, Maryland – Baltimore residents should brace for a classic August heat-up, as a long run of sunny, dry weather locks in highs from the upper 80s to the low 90s through Sunday and into early next week. Thursday kicks off a stretch of mostly sunny days, with no significant relief in sight for those hoping for rain or cooler temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday’s high will reach 88°F, with gentle northeast winds and gusts up to 18 mph in the afternoon. Skies remain mostly clear overnight as lows dip to 70°F. Friday and Saturday promise more sunshine, with highs steady near 87–89°F and nighttime lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Sunday marks the peak of this mini-heatwave, as highs hit 91°F. The humidity will stay moderate, but conditions will feel warmer in direct sun. Across central Maryland, expect roadways to heat up quickly in the afternoons and for air conditioning demand to rise. Baltimore City Schools and commuters should prepare for warm, sun-filled mornings and hot afternoons, with very little breeze to cool things down.
Stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak hours, and keep an eye on vulnerable neighbors. The next chance for rain or a real cooldown doesn’t arrive until Wednesday, when showers and thunderstorms become possible. Heat advisories may be issued if temperatures continue to climb.
