Why it matters

The rapid weather changes this week, from summer-like temperatures to potential frost, can impact gardeners, outdoor activities, and daily routines in the Baltimore area.

The details

A cold front will arrive later on Wednesday. As it clashes with the warm and humid air, there's a chance for showers and thunderstorms. There's even a small chance that the storms could turn severe with damaging winds, though the threat will be greater farther west of the Baltimore metro. Behind the cold front, temperatures will fall throughout the day on Thursday, with the high likely occurring in the morning. It will turn even colder by Thursday night, with temperatures dropping near or below freezing by Friday morning.
