Baltimore, MD – A stretch of mild summer weather has settled over Central Maryland and the D.C. metro, delivering clear skies, low humidity, and highs in the low to mid-80s through Monday evening — a welcome break from recent heat waves.
Warming Trend Hits Baltimore, D.C., and Western Suburbs
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, temperatures are reaching:
- 84°F in Baltimore
- 85°F in Leesburg and Winchester
- Near 80°F in parts of Franklin and Petersburg
Further west in the mountains, communities like Oakland and Monterey are enjoying cooler highs in the mid-70s, making for a comfortable August day across the region.
Low Humidity Keeps Conditions Comfortable
Unlike earlier in the summer, Monday’s warmth comes with low humidity, helping residents stay cool even as the mercury climbs. This brief stretch of pleasant air is expected to hold through the evening, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 50s to mid-60s.
“It’s a classic late-summer pattern,” meteorologists say, “perfect for getting outside and enjoying the sunshine.”
No Severe Weather Threats Reported
The National Weather Service reports no severe weather advisories in effect. Skies will begin to cloud up later tonight, but no storms are expected. Any weather alerts will be issued if conditions change.
Until then, the forecast holds steady — dry, sunny, and warm.
Travel Conditions Remain Smooth Across the Region
Commuters along I-95, I-70, and throughout the Capital Beltway corridor can expect dry roads and good visibility through the evening rush. Whether you’re driving home, biking through city parks, or enjoying a walk with your family, weather won’t be a concern today.
Looking Ahead: Changes Later in the Week?
While the short-term forecast remains calm, forecasters are watching for a pattern shift mid-week, which could bring increased cloud cover and possibly some light showers later in the week. But for now, residents are encouraged to enjoy what may be one of August’s most pleasant weather windows.
