Meteorologist Stevie Daniels says Baltimore will see a noticeable cooldown on Friday as a cold front moves through the region. Expect a few light showers to develop after midnight tonight, lingering into early Friday. Even beyond that, a stray sprinkle can't be ruled out at times during the day. Temperatures will still remain above normal, in the low-80s this afternoon, but a stronger cold front is expected to sweep through Saturday night into Sunday, bringing increased shower chances.

Why it matters

The changing weather patterns and temperature swings are typical for the Baltimore area in the spring, but can impact outdoor activities, energy usage, and overall comfort levels for residents. Knowing the forecast can help people plan accordingly.

The details

The cooldown on Friday is being driven by a cold front moving through the region. This front will bring a chance of light showers overnight and into the early morning hours on Friday. While most of the day on Friday will be dry, a stray sprinkle can't be ruled out at times. Temperatures will still reach the low 80s, which is above normal for this time of year, but it will feel noticeably cooler compared to the past few days. A stronger cold front is expected to sweep through on Saturday night into Sunday, bringing increased shower chances and a more significant drop in temperatures, with highs only reaching the mid 60s on Sunday.
