Warmer weather, mostly dry conditions for Baltimore Orioles' home opener
Temperatures are already trending warmer across Maryland. A warming trend continues through Thursday, the Orioles' home opening day, ahead of a greater chance of rain and shot of colder weather.
Warm weather for Orioles' home opener
The Baltimore Orioles' home opener forecast features pleasant temperatures in the upper 60s and 70s.
Areas to the south and west of the city will reach the upper 70s. Look for a gusty breeze out of the south-southwest during the afternoon and early evening hours. Winds will gust out of the south, 20 to 30 mph.
The game should remain dry for the most part. A brief and spotty shower cannot be ruled out, but the bulk of the sprinkles and showers looks to stay north and west of Baltimore. Even if a sprinkle or shower should reach the stadium, no game impacts are expected.
Rain Friday, chilly weather this weekend
The next cold front will bring us scattered rain and embedded thunderstorms early Friday morning. The thunderstorm threat is mainly before 8 a.m. Friday. Temperatures will be warmest, near 60° , early Friday morning.
More light rain is expected during the afternoon as temperatures plunge into the 40s. Rain should end by Friday evening. Most communities will pick up between 0.25" and 0.50" of rain. Plan on a brisk Friday afternoon and evening as much colder air blows into Maryland.
The brunt of the chilly weather arrives Friday night. Temperatures drop below freezing early Saturday morning. Temperatures will struggle to reach 50° on Saturday afternoon, with a chilly breeze.
Sunshine and southwesterly winds should get temperatures back into the 50s to near 60° by Sunday.
Warmer weather returns to Maryland early next week
Temperatures continue to warm up through the early part of next week as a chance of scattered rain returns to the forecast Monday and Tuesday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.
Clouds and a few showers will keep temperatures in the 60s to lower 70s on Monday and Tuesday. We'll approach 80° during the first few days of April.
