Maryland to enjoy nicest fall weekend weather of season yet

A strong area of high pressure keeps our weather calm through the weekend and beyond. This type of weather pattern delivers us plenty of sunshine, seasonably cool temperatures, and light winds for any outdoor activities. 

Fantastic Friday leads to patchy frost overnight

Moonlit skies and light winds lead to a chilly Saturday morning. A Frost Advisory is in effect for Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, Northern Baltimore and Harford counties along with the Upper Eastern Shore from 1 a.m. through 9 a.m. Saturday. Lows range from the mid 30s on the western loop of the Beltway to the 40s on the eastern side of town.

Minor coastal flooding will continue to impact parts of the Chesapeake Bay region for the next several high tide cycles. Minor flooding is only expected around the typical trouble spots. The upcoming minor flooding will be a result from the upcoming full moon early Monday and not the recent offshore coastal storm. 

Nicest fall weekend of season yet ahead for Maryland

While the next few mornings will be frosty, the afternoons will be exceptional in terms of appearance and comfort. The weekend has wall-to-wall sunshine both days. Highs will reach the lower 60s Saturday afternoon and the mid to upper 60s on Sunday. 

Both the Navy game Saturday and the Ravens game Sunday look incredible weather-wise. Field conditions should be excellent with light winds for a great passing and kicking game.

Fall color will continue to increase across Maryland with the current weather conditions being extremely supportive of changing leaves. Across most of central an northern Maryland, moderate fall color is being observed as of the latest report released Thursday. 

Rain remains noticeably absent through the end of the month. Unseasonably mild temperatures will also accompany the upcoming dry stretch possibly right into Halloween next Saturday. 

Also, as a heads up, we are approaching the end of Daylight Saving Time. We will fall back on November 1.
