Baltimore, Maryland – Summer warmth will dominate Maryland this Memorial Day weekend, but residents in Baltimore should prepare for a soggier turn by Tuesday night.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday brings mostly sunny skies with highs near 72°F across the region. Winds from the west may gust up to 22 mph, especially in the afternoon, making for a breezy but pleasant kickoff to the holiday weekend.
Sunday and Memorial Day will follow with more sunshine and highs in the mid-70s. Monday will be the warmest day, topping out near 77°F — ideal for barbecues and outdoor events. However, early-week celebrations should wrap up by sundown Monday as moisture builds ahead of the next system.
By Tuesday, Baltimore faces a 50% chance of showers, increasing to 70% Tuesday night. Commuters on I-95 and area highways should expect slick roads and reduced visibility during evening travel. Overnight lows will dip to the low 60s, with additional rainfall expected into Wednesday.
Wednesday continues with a 40% chance of showers, gradually tapering off into Thursday. Despite lingering clouds, highs remain seasonable — hovering near 80°F by Thursday afternoon.
Residents should plan ahead by securing outdoor items, checking windshield wipers, and preparing for possible travel delays early next week. Keep devices charged and monitor alerts as the weather pattern shifts Tuesday into Wednesday.
Rainfall is not expected to be severe, but scattered downpours could impact localized drainage and slow traffic. Stay weather-aware, as updated advisories could follow early Tuesday.
