BALTIMORE, Md. – Morning calm and crisp air stretch across the harbor, but Baltimore’s stretch of dry weather is nearing its end. After a few bright, mild days, the weekend brings a damp turn — one that could briefly slow travel and outdoor plans across central Maryland.
According to the National Weather Service in Sterling, Friday will stay sunny and comfortable, with highs around 56°F and a light northwest breeze. Clouds will gradually increase through Saturday as a coastal system approaches from the Carolinas. Rain chances jump to 60% late Saturday into early Sunday morning, with showers possible from Annapolis west through Columbia and Towson. Temperatures will remain mild in the upper 50s before falling into the low 50s by daybreak Sunday.
Commuters and travelers along I-95, I-70, and U.S. Route 40 should plan for reduced visibility and wet pavement Saturday evening. Though rainfall totals will stay light, gusts could reach 20 to 25 mph at times. By Sunday, skies will clear quickly, leaving behind dry air and highs near 65°F — one of the warmer November weekends before the holiday travel rush.
For those prepping for Thanksgiving, Sunday offers a perfect window for outdoor decorating or yard cleanup. Monday and Tuesday look cooler but calm, with more rain possible midweek as models hint at another system forming over the Appalachians.
The weekend marks the classic late-fall pattern — one more push of rain before cooler air reclaims the region ahead of Thanksgiving week.
