Maryland – Sunshine and a steady breeze are quickly warming Baltimore this afternoon, with temperatures pushing toward 89°F and setting up a stretch of early summer-like heat before rain returns later this week.
According to the National Weather Service, Baltimore-Washington International Airport will reach near 89°F today under mostly sunny skies, with southwest winds gusting up to 26 mph. That breeze will be noticeable on open roadways like I-95, I-695, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
The heat intensifies midweek. Highs climb to around 91°F Wednesday and hold near 89°F Thursday across Baltimore, Columbia, and Annapolis. Pavement and rooftops will trap heat during the afternoon, making it feel warmer in dense urban areas.
Conditions stay dry through Thursday afternoon, but changes begin late. A 20% chance of showers develops Thursday night, followed by a 40% chance of rain Friday afternoon. That could bring slick roads and slower travel during peak commute hours, especially on major corridors.
Plan ahead for the shift. Enjoy the dry stretch, but keep rain gear ready by late week. Winds today may also impact high-profile vehicles and outdoor setups.
Looking ahead, cooler air arrives by Saturday with highs near 82°F and a return to more comfortable conditions.
