Baltimore, Maryland – Showers will roll into central Maryland Friday afternoon, just in time to disrupt afternoon commutes and outdoor plans along the I-95 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service, rain is expected to begin after 2 p.m. Friday across Baltimore and surrounding areas, with scattered thunderstorms possible into the evening. There’s a 70% chance of rain Friday night, especially before 2 a.m., with some storms capable of brief heavy downpours. Saturday brings even more uncertainty, as storm chances rise to 80% after 11 a.m.
The wet weather could slow travel on major routes like I-695 and I-83. Drivers should remain alert for sudden downpours, ponding, and reduced visibility. Baltimoreans planning outdoor events or trips this weekend should monitor updated alerts and have backup plans in place.
Saturday night looks clearer with lows near 56°F, and Sunday brings a break in the rain with mostly sunny skies and a high near 75°F — ideal for end-of-month plans. But the summer heat won’t wait long.
By Monday, June opens with highs nearing 84°F, climbing to 86°F by Wednesday under mostly sunny skies. This marks the city’s warmest stretch so far this year.
5-Day Extended Outlook for Baltimore:
- Friday: Showers likely, 83°F
- Saturday: Thunderstorms likely, 76°F
- Sunday: Mostly sunny, 75°F
- Monday: Sunny, 84°F
