Baltimore, Maryland – Drivers across Maryland should prepare for a sharp shift in weather by Tuesday night, with steady rain and gusty winds expected to complicate commutes into midweek. The National Weather Service is calling for a 90% chance of showers starting after 2 a.m. Wednesday, with conditions worsening throughout the day.
According to the latest forecast, Baltimore will stay dry and sunny through Monday and most of Tuesday, with daytime highs reaching 79°F today and 76°F Tuesday. But after sunset Tuesday, winds will shift and scattered showers will start moving through central Maryland. By early Wednesday, rainfall will intensify across the Baltimore metro and along major routes like I-95 and I-83, bringing slippery road conditions and possible delays.
Wednesday’s high will struggle to reach 65°F — nearly 10 degrees cooler than normal for this point in May. Winds could make it feel even chillier. Rain will likely continue into Wednesday night, with a second wave of showers hitting after 8 p.m. Thursday. That system carries an 80% chance of precipitation.
