BALTIMORE, Md. – Maryland’s calm, bright start to October won’t last long, with a warm-up ahead followed by showers midweek. After a mild Sunday, temperatures will climb toward the low 80s through Tuesday before a front brings scattered rain and cooler air into Baltimore and the I-95 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, patchy fog may form early Monday, giving way to sunshine and highs near 82°F. Residents planning early commutes along I-83 or I-695 should allow extra time for low visibility. By Tuesday afternoon, clouds will thicken, and by late night, showers and a few rumbles of thunder could reach the metro area.
Tuesday’s high near 81°F will fall quickly as an 80% chance of rain moves through. Wednesday morning’s drive could be slick, especially across Baltimore County and along U.S. Route 40 east toward Aberdeen. Cooler, drier air will return by Thursday, setting up a classic early-fall pattern for outdoor events, leaf viewing, and Halloween decorating.
NWS forecasters expect highs in the 70s late week, with clear skies and crisp nights near 50°F. Marylanders should keep rain gear handy through Wednesday but prepare for a gorgeous stretch afterward. It’s an ideal setup for pumpkin patch visits or early fall festivals across Central Maryland.
