BALTIMORE — As the work week begins, residents can expect dry conditions with temperatures reaching the upper 70s this afternoon. However, a significant change is on the horizon as a wet weather pattern is set to develop throughout the week. Rain showers are expected to move in late tonight, becoming more widespread by Tuesday, with the potential for embedded thunderstorms. Total rainfall may reach 1-2 inches, leading to an isolated flooding risk, especially west of I-83.
Scattered showers will persist through the midweek, with temperatures gradually rising into the 80s by Thursday. The highlight of the week will be Black-Eyed Susan Day, featuring highs in the mid to upper 80s. Unfortunately, on-and-off rain showers are projected to continue into Saturday, coinciding with the Preakness Stakes, before finally clearing up by Sunday.
The 7-day forecast shows variability in conditions:
– Monday: Partly sunny, high near 79.
