Baltimore’s stretch of late-summer warmth continues into midweek, but drivers and weekend planners should watch for rain beginning Thursday afternoon. Temperatures climb into the mid-80s, with storm chances increasing just as many Marylanders prepare for fall events.
According to the National Weather Service, Baltimore will stay mostly sunny through Wednesday, September 3, with highs near 84 degrees. Conditions shift Thursday as south winds strengthen and scattered thunderstorms threaten the I-95 corridor. Commuters could face slick roads and sudden downpours late Thursday, with additional shower chances returning Saturday.
Travelers should plan extra time on highways, particularly I-95, I-83, and the Baltimore Beltway, where wet pavement could slow traffic. Outdoor activities on Thursday and Saturday may need backup plans, especially for sports or community gatherings. Officials advise charging phones and checking for updates in case severe weather develops later this week.
Friday brings a break in the action with sunny skies and highs close to 88, ideal for early fall football games. However, Saturday’s afternoon showers may interrupt tailgates or outdoor markets, keeping conditions unsettled until Saturday night. By Sunday, skies clear again, and cooler air moves in to close the weekend.
More advisories are possible as storm chances approach. Residents should monitor National Weather Service alerts and stay weather-aware through the weekend.
