Baltimore, MD – Dry conditions and low humidity bring an elevated fire danger across Baltimore today, especially in areas east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Residents are urged to use caution with open flames, as gusty winds up to 18 mph are expected to persist until midday, increasing the fire risk. The National Weather Service advises vigilance, with fire hazards expected to ease as winds diminish later in the day.

Sunday’s forecast brings a shift, with scattered showers likely in the afternoon. Cloud cover will increase, and Baltimore can expect highs near 63°F. Rain chances rise to 40%, and light southward winds will make for a cooler, damp Sunday. Sunday night will be particularly wet, with a 100% chance of showers and possible patchy fog in the area, prompting motorists to exercise caution during evening travel.

Looking to Monday, Veterans Day will start foggy but clear to reveal mostly sunny skies. Highs are expected to reach around 72°F with breezy conditions, as winds from the west could gust up to 21 mph. This sunny trend will extend into midweek, with Tuesday’s high expected to reach 64°F under clear skies, followed by a cooler night at around 39°F.

The week wraps up with more sunshine on Wednesday, although the forecast hints at a chance of showers late into Wednesday night. Baltimore’s weather will stay mostly mild, but residents should remain cautious of fire risks this weekend and prepare for Sunday’s rain.
