Baltimore, Md. – Marylanders will want umbrellas ready as a sunny Sunday gives way to a stormy start of the workweek. Thunderstorms could arrive by Tuesday evening, with heavy downpours threatening to snarl travel and slow commutes on major routes including I-95 and I-83.
According to the National Weather Service, Baltimore will stay warm and dry Monday, with highs near 85 under increasing clouds. By Tuesday, a 30% chance of afternoon showers builds into a 50% chance of nighttime thunderstorms. That pattern continues Wednesday, raising concerns for localized flooding and power outages.
Travelers should prepare for delays on I-95 and other major corridors during evening and morning drive times. Wet pavement, standing water, and reduced visibility are likely hazards. BGE customers should also be ready for scattered outages if storms intensify midweek.
Eastern and Central Maryland counties, including Baltimore, Harford, and Anne Arundel, remain most at risk through Wednesday night. Residents should secure outdoor items, keep phones charged, and avoid driving through flooded intersections.
Relief arrives Thursday as skies clear and temperatures settle back into the lower 80s, offering a more seasonal feel for mid-September.
