Baltimore is in for a gorgeous Monday with sunny skies and a high near 69°F—a picture-perfect spring day that won’t last long before things turn unsettled midweek.
Today is one of those rare gifts we get in late April when you can practically feel the season changing for the better. The National Weather Service forecasters note that high pressure stretching down from New England is keeping things tranquil, with just light northeast winds around 5 mph. After a chilly start this morning—many neighborhoods woke up in the 40s, with some spots dipping into the upper 30s—temperatures will warm steadily through the afternoon. There’s zero chance of rain today, so you can leave the umbrella at home.
What to do today: This is the day to get outside. If you’ve got a golf game planned, conditions at courses around Charm City will be ideal—light winds, sunshine, and mild temps. If golf isn’t your thing, grab a golf push cart and head to one of Baltimore’s parks. Canton, Fells Point, and the Inner Harbor are all going to be packed with people soaking up the sunshine. And if you’re heading to the Baltimore Orioles vs. Houston Astros game at Camden Yards on Tuesday, tonight’s clear skies mean tailgating conditions will be excellent—grab Official team gear on Fanatics and Get tickets on SeatGeek if you haven’t already.
Grilling weather alert: Fire up the grill tonight for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. You’ll want an instant-read meat thermometer to nail those temps, and a grill brush and scraper set will keep your cooking surface in top shape. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Tonight’s outlook: Mostly clear skies with a low around 50°F. It’ll be pleasant enough for an evening on the patio with a hammock with stand if you’ve got one set up.
The bigger picture: Enjoy today and tonight, because Tuesday brings a 30% chance of scattered rain showers after 2 PM, and Wednesday is when things really get interesting. The National Weather Service is tracking a frontal system moving in that could bring more significant rain chances Wednesday afternoon (85% probability). Cooler, drier weather returns Thursday through the weekend—perfect for outdoor concerts and festivals like the M3 Rock Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion on May 2nd.
Make the most of today. Sunny spring days like this don’t come around every week.
