Maryland – Sunshine is spreading across Baltimore this afternoon, but a rapid warmup is already underway that will push temperatures close to 90 degrees by midweek. The air feels comfortable now, yet a noticeable shift toward early summer heat is building quickly.
According to the National Weather Service, highs climb from 68°F today to 85°F Monday, then reach 87°F Tuesday and peak near 90°F Wednesday. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph Monday, especially across open roadways and bridges.
Drivers along I-95, I-695, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway should stay alert Monday afternoon. Gusty winds may impact high-profile vehicles and create sudden lane shifts. Secure loose items and keep both hands on the wheel.
By Tuesday afternoon, a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after 2 p.m. While coverage remains limited, brief downpours and lightning could disrupt the evening commute. Plan ahead and monitor changing conditions.
Wednesday brings the peak heat, with highs near 90°F under mostly sunny skies. Pavement and buildings will retain heat into the evening, limiting overnight cooling as lows stay in the upper 60s.
Thursday remains warm near 88°F with partial sunshine, continuing a stretch of above-normal temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic. This pattern reflects a broader warming trend expanding eastward.
