Baltimore Anticipates Wet Relief As Warm Front Ends Historic Dry Spell

Baltimore’s streak of dry days has reached a crux as a warm front intersects with our region, and expectations of a wet Monday loom over.

National Weather Service

Baltimore MD/Washington DC asserts a front will push through the area, trailing a low-pressure journey from the Upper Midwest to the Great Lakes and southeast Canada. Rising humidity and southerly wind gusts mark today’s shifting climate before the cold front clears the skies by Monday.

For those yearning for a respite from the sun, the forecast should bring comfort. Scattering to numerous showers are expected along and west of the Allegheny Front and near/north of US-50/I-66, as recent high-resolution guidance has shown a spread in quantitative precipitation forecasts. The topping layer of cloud and southerly breezes tonight will keep things mild after sunset, bidding farewell to the recent chill in the air.

Aviation traffic will encounter VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions throughout daylight, with potential restrictions kicking in after a few hours past noon. This is signaled by lowered visibility in showers and dropping cloud ceilings as the warm front saunters in. Mariners should anticipate increased south-to-southwest flow today and tonight ahead of the warmth’s ascent. A small craft advisory echoes this, cautioning for winds up to 20 knots in the approaching colder airs of the day.

Fire weather concerns simmer down in the face of prevalent moisture, though

the NWS notes that a wetting rain ranging from a tenth to a half inch is likely for much of the area through Monday.

But with the soil’s thirst far from quenched by modest rainfall, dwindling humidity on Tuesday could fan the flames of worry once again.

In the annals of climate, records have been both set and shattered. One for the books—a parched spell that has blanketed our Mid-Atlantic in unprecedented drought—looks to meet its finale today. Sites like DCA, BWI, IAD, and MRB are all hitting the longest dry streaks in recorded history, only to be doused by the forecasted rains. Recognizing nature’s assertive shift, locals can finally mark the end of an era and the start of a hopeful replenishment.
