Chief Meteorologist Tom Tasselmyer forecasts that temperatures in the Baltimore region will climb into the 50s on Friday, but a line of storms passing north of the state will bring gusty winds that will lower the wind chill throughout the day.

Why it matters

The blustery conditions could impact travel, outdoor activities, and overall comfort levels for residents in the Baltimore metro area as the region transitions from winter to spring.

The details

Tasselmyer predicts that the storm system passing to the north will generate strong winds across the Baltimore region on Friday, even though the precipitation will remain north of Maryland. The winds could lead to reduced wind chill factors and make it feel cooler than the actual air temperature.

  • Temperatures are expected to reach the 50s on Friday, March 13, 2026.

The takeaway

While the warmer temperatures on Friday will be a welcome sign of spring, the gusty winds could make it feel more like winter for Baltimore residents, so they should prepare for blustery conditions when heading outdoors.
