Baltimore, MD – Early risers along the Inner Harbor wake to calm water and a crisp 46°F morning, but the stillness won’t last long. Clouds are already starting to edge east, hinting at a change that will bring gusty winds, rain, and the season’s first taste of true November air by week’s end.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, increasing clouds and a strengthening southwest breeze will make today feel milder, with highs near 70°F. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph before a dry, cool push returns Thursday. That day will be clear, bright, and breezy — a brief calm before Friday’s next system moves in from the Ohio Valley.
Friday begins partly sunny and warm, with highs in the low 60s, but rain chances ramp up through the afternoon. Showers and isolated downpours are expected after 5 p.m., potentially slowing the evening commute along I-95, I-83, and the Beltway. The rain will clear early Saturday, setting the stage for a drier but noticeably cooler weekend. Highs will hover near 60°F with crisp, clear nights — ideal for outdoor plans or early holiday decorating.
Forecasters are already eyeing next week for a deeper November cold snap. Models suggest an Arctic push could drop temperatures into the 30s by Veterans Day, signaling the region’s transition from fall’s golden warmth toward winter’s doorstep. For now, Baltimoreans can expect two mild, breezy days before the weekend reminds everyone that the seasons are shifting for good.
