Baltimore is starting Tuesday with wall-to-wall sunshine and a high near 70°F — one of the cleanest spring days Charm City has seen in a while, so get outside and enjoy it before a stormy Wednesday takes over.
Today’s Setup
High pressure is parked right overhead, delivering clear skies and a light northwest wind of 3 to 8 mph. The National Weather Service forecasts a high near 70°F, a touch below the seasonal average but genuinely comfortable from the Inner Harbor to Druid Hill Park. One catch: pollen will be flying on a calm, dry day like this. Allergy sufferers should grab kids allergy chewables Zyrtec before heading out — your eyes will thank you.
Best Window To Be Outside
The whole day works. Mow the lawn, hit the Chesapeake waterfront, squeeze in a round of golf, or fire up a hammock in the backyard — Tuesday is your open window. Check the Baltimore weather forecast for updates, but conditions stay clean through sundown. Outdoor gear deals are worth a browse if you need to stock up before the warm season fully arrives.
Orioles vs. Yankees at Camden Yards
The Baltimore Orioles host the New York Yankees at Oriole Park at Camden Yards both tonight and Wednesday. Tonight is tailor-made for baseball — partly cloudy skies, low around 57°F, and a gentle southerly breeze off the Bay. Pull on your Baltimore Orioles jersey, grab your Baltimore Orioles fitted cap, and settle in for a classic rivalry game. Get tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub if you still need seats.
Wednesday’s game is the one to watch carefully. The National Weather Service has a 50% chance of showers after 3 PM ET, with thunderstorms becoming likely by evening. If you’re heading to Camden Yards Wednesday, have a rain plan and watch for delay announcements.
Storm Risk Wednesday
A Canadian trough driving a surface low across the Great Lakes will bring gusty south winds (up to 24 mph gusts) and afternoon thunderstorms Wednesday. The NWS flags rain showers developing between 3 and 5 PM ET, then storms intensifying overnight — precipitation chances climb to 90%+ Wednesday night with up to a half-inch of rain possible. Secure anything loose now: anchor your pop-up canopy tent with weights, pull out outdoor furniture covers for patio sets, and keep a bungee cord assortment handy for lighter gear before the wind picks up Tuesday night.
No excessive rainfall risk has been issued for the Baltimore area through Wednesday morning, but Wednesday night’s storm window warrants attention.
What To Wear
Tuesday: T-shirt weather by afternoon; a light jacket for morning and evening. Wednesday: Rain jacket and umbrella are essential if you’re out after noon ET.
Fire Up the Grill Tonight
Tonight is perfect grilling weather — fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of doneness, and a grill brush and scraper set keeps your grates clean for the season. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Wednesday brings a real storm system — showers after 3 PM ET, heavy overnight rain, up to 0.5 inches total. Thursday data is still developing, but the NWS Area Forecast Discussion signals another cool period before above-average temperatures return for the weekend into early next week. Stay with the Baltimore weather forecast for the latest timing.
