Maryland Weather: Chill eases late this week, Friday showers
- Cold weather is expected tonight into early Monday. The chill eases late this week with showers returning to the area Friday.
Skies cleared Sunday afternoon giving us a few hours of sunshine. Temperatures reached the lower 50s. With a clear sky tonight, and high pressure overhead, we'll see temperatures quickly drop into the 20s & 30s for overnight lows. Widespread frost & freeze conditions are expected overnight in & around Baltimore. You may want to give yourself a few extra minutes to scrape off your windshield early Monday morning.

he kids have a cold start to Monday with widespread 20s & low 30s in and around Baltimore. Make sure they are dressed for the chill. Luckily there won't be much wind. Cold eases during the afternoon with highs in the upper 50s. pic.twitter.com/TFUA5ew3Ug — Steven Sosna November 12, 2023We'll see high pressure in control of our weather through Thursday. This means we'll see chilly to cold mornings with a nice temperature rebound during the afternoon hours each day. Highs Monday through Wednesday will reach the middle to upper 50s. Thursday we'll experience a push of milder air with temperatures returning to the middle 60s.
SUNNY STRETCH: We have a stretch of sunny & quiet weather Monday through Thursday. Ravens home game Thursday evening looks dry & mild with temperatures in the 50s. Our next chance of showers returns Friday afternoon into Friday night. pic.twitter.com/8HFOoBDEU7 — Steven Sosna November 12, 2023The weather Thursday evening looks fantastic for the Ravens home game at M & T Bank Stadium. We'll see temperatures comfortably cool in the low 50s for kickoff at 8:15 PM against the Bengals. Skies will stay mostly clear with a breeze out of the south-southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
BENGALS RAVENS: Ravens home game Thursday evening looks great by November standards. Temperatures in the lower 50s with a mostly clear sky. A cool feel, but certainly not frigid or cold Thursday night. pic.twitter.com/AMkoXgPcxD — Steven Sosna November 12, 2023Our next chance of rain returns to the area Friday during the afternoon into Friday night as a strong cold front approaches from the west. Rain is much needed across the state with yearly rainfall deficits ranging from nearly 7" below average in Baltimore to nearly 12" below average across parts of the eastern shore. Right now rainfall totals Friday and Friday night should stay below a half inch, but we'll continue to monitor the forecast for any possible changes.
RAIN CHANCES: We certainly need the rain badly across Maryland. We have the opportunity for a round of showers, possibly a steadier rain for several hours Friday afternoon into Friday night. Amounts don't look too significant, but anything is helpful at this point. pic.twitter.com/C2OM2hrLep — Steven Sosna November 12, 2023The weather next weekend looks to dry out and turn cooler as winds veer to the northwest and north. We'll see the weather begin to dry out during the day Saturday with highs in the upper 50s to near 60. Sunday looks like another winner of a day with sunshine and highs in the upper 50s.
A stormier weather pattern may develop during the week of Thanksgiving. This will be the case not only here, but across much of the country. We'll continue to finetune the forecast as we get closer to next week with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and the travel around it.
