BALTIMORE, Md. – Residents in Baltimore should prepare for a wet weekend as steady rain is expected to develop Friday night, continuing into Saturday morning, according to local meteorologists.
The National Weather Service has designated Friday as an Impact Weather Day, signaling potential disruptions for commuters and outdoor activities.
Weather Forecast for Friday
Meteorologist Ava Marie reported that Friday will begin with cloudy skies but temperatures will remain milder than earlier in the week. Morning readings are expected to start in the mid-50s, near normal for this time of year.
Throughout most of the day, Baltimore is likely to stay dry, giving residents a brief window for outdoor plans before precipitation moves in.
Rain Development Friday Night
According to Marie, rain is forecast to begin Friday night, gradually spreading across the region. The steady rainfall is expected to last through the night, creating wet road conditions for anyone traveling late Friday or early Saturday.
Saturday Conditions
The rainfall will taper off by Saturday morning, leaving behind cloudy skies with lingering dampness throughout the day. Temperatures will remain moderate, making it cooler than the evening rain but still comfortable for outdoor activities once the precipitation ends.
Safety Tips and Community Advice
Local officials encourage residents to plan ahead for wet conditions and to exercise caution while driving, as roads may be slippery due to the steady rain. Pet owners and commuters are advised to check weather updates frequently, as conditions can change overnight.
Meteorologists also advise that flood-prone areas be monitored, especially in low-lying neighborhoods, although no flood warnings have been issued as of now. Residents should have umbrellas and rain gear ready if venturing outdoors Friday night.
