Chilly Fall Weather Continues Across Maryland
Fall is in full swing across Maryland, and the next several days are shaping up to feel like it. High pressure is taking charge from the Plains, sliding right over the Mid-Atlantic and locking in a stretch of cool, calm, and dry weather through the weekend.
MARYLAND TONIGHT & THURSDAY
Skies will stay mostly clear tonight, and that's going to let temperatures drop off fast once the sun sets. Expect lows in the mid-30s to low-40s across the Baltimore metro, with patchy frost likely north and west of the city — spots like Owings Mills, Reisterstown, and Eldersburg could wake up to a thin layer of sparkle on the grass. Thursday will be another crisp fall day across central Maryland. We'll see plenty of sunshine, a light northwest breeze, and highs only in the low to mid-60s. It'll be cool, but bright — a good day for a walk or some leaf-peeping.
MARYLAND THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
Thursday night looks even colder across much of Maryland. Under clear skies and calm winds, temperatures will dip into the mid-30s in the suburbs and around 40° downtown. You might need to bring in or cover up any plants you still have outside. Friday stays sunny and dry, but that breeze will have a chill to it. Afternoon highs will top out right around 60°F.
MARYLAND WEEKEND FORECAST
The weekend forecast is about as steady as it gets. High pressure holds strong across the state, keeping rain chances near zero. Expect daytime highs in the upper-50s to near 60°F, and chilly nights in the 30s and low 40s. Both Saturday and Sunday mornings could bring frost again for the northern and western suburbs. It's great fall weather — cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and no humidity to speak of.
MARYLAND NEXT WEEK OUTLOOK
That same quiet pattern sticks around into early next week. Models like the GFS and Euro keep us mostly dry through Tuesday, with maybe a few light showers trying to sneak in by midweek. Highs will hang near 60°F, and lows stay in the 30s and 40s — jacket weather all the way.
BOTTOM LINE:
Baltimore and much of Maryland are getting a picture-perfect stretch of fall weather — crisp air, sunny days, and a few frosty mornings. Enjoy it while it lasts, because October's chill is here to stay.
