Washington, D.C. – Warm and mostly dry conditions will carry through the evening for much of the D.C. and Baltimore region, though isolated thunderstorms could spark near the Allegheny Front.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, urban areas will see temperatures in the mid to upper 80s around 4 p.m., easing to the low 70s by 10 p.m. Skies will remain partly to mostly sunny, with only a slight chance of a stray thunderstorm across western Maryland’s higher elevations.
In mountain areas, including Garrett and western Allegany counties, highs will peak in the 70s before settling into the 60s after sunset. Any storms that do develop are expected to be brief and localized, primarily affecting areas along and west of the Allegheny Front.
Travelers along I-68 and those hiking or camping in mountain regions should remain alert for changing skies and gusty winds late this afternoon. The rest of the metro area can expect a warm, quiet evening with limited cloud cover.
Stray storms near the Allegheny Front may linger until around midnight, but no widespread impacts are expected. More settled weather is likely to follow into Thursday morning.
