Baltimore weather today brings showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and evening, with a high near 66°F and southeast winds gusting up to 21 mph.
Here’s what to expect: Rain showers move in around 11 AM ET and stick around through 5 PM ET, then thunderstorms develop this evening before 10 PM ET. The National Weather Service is calling for an 80% chance of precipitation today and 90% tonight, with rainfall amounts between a quarter and three-quarters of an inch possible. The National Weather Service forecasters note that the timing of morning clouds eroding will be key—if they clear enough, we could see some stronger instability this afternoon, particularly near the Inner Harbor and downtown corridor.
What to do today: Keep plans flexible. This isn’t a day for the ballpark or outdoor activities in Canton or Federal Hill. If you’ve got errands, knock them out before 11 AM ET or wait until tomorrow. The Orioles-Astros matchup at Camden Yards tonight is indoors, so fans heading to the game are in luck—grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support. If you’re tailgating before the game, a pop-up canopy tent with weights will keep you dry in those gusty conditions.
For concert-goers, Nettspend’s early life crisis tour at The Fillmore Silver Spring tonight should proceed as scheduled indoors. If you need tickets, Find tickets on StubHub or Get tickets on SeatGeek.
Gear up: A packable rain jacket and compact travel umbrella are your best friends today—keep them in your car or bag. If you’re planning any outdoor work this week, note that tomorrow (Thursday) will be beautiful: sunny, 67°F, and perfect for yard work or golf.
Tonight will be wet and windy, so secure any loose items outside. If you’ve been meaning to install gutter guards to protect your home from heavy rain runoff, today’s forecast is a good reminder to add that to your spring to-do list.
Looking ahead: Thursday brings a dramatic turnaround. Sunny skies, 67°F, and northwest winds 10–15 mph make it ideal for getting outside. Thursday night dips to 46°F under mostly clear skies—a refreshing evening for a walk along the Chesapeake Bay or through Druid Hill Park. However, well below normal temperatures are expected this weekend into early next week, so frost is possible along the Allegheny Front and inland areas Friday and Saturday nights. Don’t put away those jackets just yet.
Dinner suggestion: A rainy afternoon is perfect for slow-cooker comfort food. Throw together a hearty beef stew or chili this morning—a programmable slow cooker will have everything ready by dinner time. For something richer, an enameled cast iron Dutch oven works beautifully for braised meats and soups. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Stay dry out there, Baltimore!
