Baltimore, Maryland – Rainy skies and booming thunder are set to shake Baltimore this Sunday, as a summer weather alert brings a surge of showers and storms to the region. Temperatures will soar to a humid 93°F while downpours and possible lightning could disrupt travel—especially along I-95, US-40, and throughout the city’s busy corridors.
According to the National Weather Service, showers will likely intensify after 11 a.m. Sunday, with thunderstorms possible between noon and 2 p.m. Gusty winds, brief heavy rain, and frequent lightning may create slick conditions and reduced visibility. If you must drive, use caution, avoid flooded areas, and keep headlights on. The NWS also urges residents to watch for rapid changes in conditions and remain alert to weather warnings throughout the day.
Local impacts will be felt from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Towson and Catonsville, with new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half an inch possible by evening. Southeast winds remain light, but isolated storms could bring stronger gusts. Prepare by charging devices, checking local alerts, and securing outdoor items.
The stormy pattern eases by late Sunday night, but muggy, stormy weather continues Monday with more afternoon showers and a high near 93°F. The region dries out Tuesday as partly sunny skies return and the mercury climbs to 94°F. Highs will soar into the mid-90s through midweek, bringing a blast of summer heat to Baltimore and surrounding counties.
