Baltimore weather today is mostly sunny with a high near 67°F and light south winds of 3 to 7 mph—ideal conditions for getting outside and enjoying spring in Charm City.
This afternoon through early evening is your window for outdoor activities. Whether you’re heading to Fort McHenry for a walk, catching some rays at Canton Waterfront Park, or planning a trip to Inner Harbor, you won’t need more than a light jacket. The 8% chance of rain means you can leave the umbrella at home for now.
However, things change tonight. A 40% chance of rain showers moves in between 8 PM and 2 AM, with temperatures dropping to around 49°F. The National Weather Service indicates that cloud cover tonight may prevent frost, but that’s the calm before a cooler weekend. Saturday highs will only reach the lower 60s with a slight 20% chance of showers after 2 PM, and Sunday looks similarly cool. More importantly, the NWS is monitoring Saturday night for potential freezing temperatures, especially west of the Blue Ridge—so gardeners and farmers should keep an eye on frost concerns through the weekend.
Perfect Grilling Weather Today
Fire up the grill this afternoon while conditions are ideal. Burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob are calling your name. Grab an instant-read meat thermometer and grill brush and scraper set to get restaurant-quality results. If you’re planning a tailgate at Camden Yards later in the week, a portable propane grill and pop-up canopy tent with weights will keep you comfortable even if the weekend turns breezy.
Speaking of Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles vs Athletics game on May 8th will feature Tupac Bobblehead giveaways—a must-have for collectors. Grab tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub, and pick up Official team gear on Fanatics to show your O’s pride.
If you’re heading out tonight for entertainment, several events are happening around the metro: MIKA performs the SPINNING OUT TOUR NORTH AMERICA at The Fillmore Silver Spring tonight, and the M3 Rock Festival takes over Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia on Saturday. Get tickets on SeatGeek for either event.
Allergy Alert
With mostly sunny skies and light winds today, pollen counts may be elevated. Keep an allergy relief nasal spray handy if you’re sensitive to spring allergens.
Weekend Outlook
Saturday stays cool and cloudy with a slight rain chance after 2 PM. Sunday improves slightly to 63°F but remains below normal. By next week, temperatures rise back toward normal with showers possible at times, so enjoy the sunshine while you have it today. Need ingredients for tonight’s dinner?
