Baltimore, MD – After a blustery Columbus Day start, Maryland residents can expect calmer, brighter conditions by midweek. The National Weather Service has lifted its Gale Warning for the Chesapeake Bay and lower Potomac River, signaling smoother conditions for mariners and commuters along the I-95 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, Monday brings lingering drizzle and winds up to 29 mph before skies clear Tuesday. By Wednesday, sunshine and mild highs near 69°F will replace the gusty start to the week. Boaters are advised to stay cautious through early Tuesday morning as conditions settle.
Wind gusts and cooler air may cause minor travel slowdowns across Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Prince George’s Counties, but no hazardous weather is expected after Monday. Tuesday’s sunshine and mid-70s highs mark a welcome shift for leaf watchers and pumpkin patch visitors preparing for peak fall color.
Looking ahead, Maryland’s five-day forecast shows steady improvement.
