Baltimore weather today is shaping up to be damp and cool, with isolated rain showers possible overnight and a 50% chance of rain developing by afternoon—so grab a compact travel umbrella before heading out.
Here’s what to expect: Early this morning through about 6 AM ET, you’ll see mostly cloudy skies with a low around 54°F and just a 15–20% chance of isolated showers. Then Saturday proper kicks in around 6 AM with temperatures climbing only to near 61°F. The National Weather Service forecasters note that a stalled frontal boundary lingering across Virginia and into western Maryland will keep moisture overrunning the region, meaning afternoon showers are quite likely after 3 PM ET. East winds will gust up to 22 mph, so secure any loose patio furniture and expect blustery conditions around the Inner Harbor and Chesapeake Bay shoreline.
If you’re heading to Baltimore Orioles vs Boston Red Sox: Hockey Jersey at Camden Yards tonight, you’ll want to dress in layers. It’ll be chilly and damp, so bring a packable rain jacket and consider grabbing Official team gear on Fanatics to stay warm and show your O’s pride. For tailgating before the game, conditions won’t be ideal for a portable propane grill, but you can still make it work if you’re patient.
Saturday night is when things get serious: rain showers intensify from 6 PM ET onward, with a 90% chance of precipitation and new rainfall of 0.5 to 0.75 inches possible. The Weather Prediction Center hasn’t issued a flash flood warning for our area, but given the rainfall amounts, avoid driving through standing water on local roads and streams. Northeast winds will pick up to 9–13 mph with gusts to 21 mph.
Sunday won’t be much better. Expect a 40% chance of rain showers, a high near 54°F, and gusty northeast winds around 12 mph with gusts to 20 mph—not ideal for outdoor plans at Merriweather Post Pavilion or other open venues, but perfect weather for catching an indoor event like the theater at the Hippodrome or a concert at Baltimore Soundstage.
With all this wet weather, today is the perfect day to stay cozy indoors. Whip up a comforting batch of slow cooker chili or beef stew—both are ideal for rainy Saturday afternoons. A programmable slow cooker will have everything ready by dinner time, or go classic with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven on the stove. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Mid-week will bring another round of showers as a cold front moves through, so enjoy any dry moments this weekend. Stay dry out there, Charm City!
