Baltimore, Md. – Maryland heads into Thursday under calm skies, but the heat is already building ahead of the busy Labor Day weekend. Drivers on I-95 and throughout Baltimore should expect strong sun glare during the morning and evening commute, with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s by Friday. Travelers are urged to use caution and stay hydrated as conditions turn warmer.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday will stay partly sunny with highs reaching near 83°F. Winds remain light, but by Friday, highs could reach 85°F under mostly sunny skies. The gradual warming trend poses potential health concerns for outdoor workers and families spending extended time outside, especially as Labor Day weekend traffic increases.
Local agencies recommend carrying water, limiting strenuous outdoor activity during peak sun hours, and using caution on sun-baked roadways that may cause tire stress. Those attending outdoor events across Baltimore and surrounding counties should plan shade breaks and monitor children and pets closely.
The weekend remains favorable for travel and holiday gatherings, with sunshine dominating Saturday and Sunday. By Monday, Labor Day itself, temperatures will hover near the mid-80s, keeping the region hot but mostly dry.
