Baltimore, MD – Golden sunlight and calm winds set a picture-perfect tone across Maryland this morning, but change is already on the horizon. After several mild, sunny days, a Friday system is expected to bring a surge of rain and cooler air — potentially dampening the start of Veterans Day weekend events across the Baltimore region.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, highs will hover near 69°F Wednesday with full sun and a light southwest breeze. Thursday stays bright but cooler, around 60°F, before clouds thicken Friday morning. A strong moisture feed from the south will lift into the area Friday afternoon, pushing rain chances to nearly 70% by evening.
The heaviest rainfall is expected late Friday into early Saturday, with up to a half inch possible along the I-95 corridor. Wet pavement and gusty winds may cause slow travel for commuters between Baltimore, Towson, and Washington, D.C. The system exits quickly Saturday morning, leaving mostly sunny skies and highs rebounding into the upper 60s.
Sunday brings another slight rain chance — around 40% — as temperatures drop again into the low 60s. The pattern signals a classic November transition, with mild southern air giving way to cooler, drier northern flow.
Long-range models hint at a colder setup by mid-month, possibly bringing the first frost or flurry potential north of the city before Thanksgiving. For now, the rest of the week stays warm and inviting — perfect for leaf cleanup, outdoor dining, or early holiday decorating before the next wave of chill arrives.
