Baltimore, Maryland – Warm, dry air is bringing a summer surge to much of Maryland and the D.C. metro as afternoon temperatures rise into the 80s Monday, with the warmest readings stretching from Baltimore to Washington and points west. Expect a mix of sun and clouds, offering a break from recent humidity and heat waves.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, highs will climb to 84°F in Baltimore, 85°F in Leesburg and Winchester, and reach near 80°F in Franklin and Petersburg. Mountain communities such as Oakland and Monterey stay cooler, topping out in the mid-70s. Low humidity will help keep conditions comfortable, though increasing clouds are set to move in by late evening, dropping lows into the upper 50s and mid-60s.
Commuters along I-95, I-70, and around the Beltway can expect dry roads and good visibility. Residents are urged to stay hydrated and make the most of the mild pattern by getting outside, but keep an eye on skies late tonight as more clouds approach.
The region remains free of severe weather, with the next update due if any advisories develop. For now, enjoy another round of classic August sun and low humidity across Maryland and northern Virginia.
