BALTIMORE, Md. – The first light reflects off the Inner Harbor this Wednesday morning as a soft breeze drifts across calm water and the air feels distinctly crisp. Baltimore is waking to a streak of classic fall weather — clear skies, dry air, and cooler days that hint at the season’s slow turn toward winter.
According to the National Weather Service in Sterling, Virginia, high pressure will dominate through Friday, bringing steady sunshine and mild afternoons near 65 degrees. Winds will pick up slightly from the west today, gusting near 20 mph at times. Those breezes will make for brisker conditions Thursday and Friday as temperatures settle a few degrees lower each day.
Lows will dip into the mid-40s both Thursday and Friday nights, creating perfect sleeping weather — though rural areas north of the Beltway could briefly touch the upper 30s by early Saturday. No frost is expected yet, but the pattern signals that Baltimore’s first cold snap of fall isn’t far off.
For commuters along I-95, travel remains ideal through the week with dry pavement and high visibility. Outdoor plans, leaf cleanup, or early Halloween decorating should all fare well under this extended stretch of sunshine. To be fair, it’s the kind of mid-October run that feels fleeting — warm sun by day, cool by dusk, and just enough breeze to rattle the changing trees.
