Baltimore, MD – Warm and humid conditions are set to linger across the Mid-Atlantic this week, bringing an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms through Friday.
According to the US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, a slow-moving cold front is expected to stall across the region, leading to unsettled weather. Multiple waves of low pressure will move along the boundary, producing scattered storms and periods of heavy rain.
Forecasters say thunderstorms could develop as early as Tuesday afternoon and evening, with gusty winds and localized downpours as the main threats. The storm risk continues Wednesday through Friday as the front remains in place. Beneficial rainfall is expected in some areas, helping to ease dry conditions.
Temperatures will stay seasonally warm, with highs ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s and muggy overnight lows in the upper 50s to mid-60s. Conditions should improve by the weekend as high pressure builds back into the area, bringing drier and more comfortable weather.
Residents across Maryland, Washington, DC, northern Virginia, and eastern West Virginia should monitor forecasts for potential severe weather updates, particularly during evening commute hours when storm activity may be most impactful.
