Baltimore, MD – Early travelers across Maryland and the D.C. metro may want to keep the umbrellas handy this week. A developing rainmaker arrives Tuesday, bringing wet roads and slowdowns along I-95 before a cooler, calmer pattern settles in for Thanksgiving.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore–Washington, clouds will thicken Tuesday morning with rain developing by midday and continuing through the evening. The heaviest rain is likely during the afternoon commute, reducing visibility and leaving slick pavement for those traveling between Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis.
Temperatures will reach the upper 50s before the front passes Tuesday night, followed by a drop into the low 50s Wednesday. Lingering showers may taper off by midday, giving way to partial sunshine by afternoon. Thanksgiving Day looks crisp and mostly sunny, with highs near 47°F — ideal for morning parades, football games, and early travel plans.
Heading into the weekend, skies remain dry and temperatures cool, with highs in the mid-40s and chilly nights near freezing. The quiet stretch should hold through Friday before a slight chance of showers returns Sunday.
