UPDATE: Baltimore residents are facing a tumultuous week ahead as a strong cold front sweeps through the area, bringing unpredictable weather conditions starting today. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for increased winds and reduced visibility due to dense fog, with advisories in effect until 8 AM EST this morning.
As the cold front approaches, gusts of wind are expected to reach 20-25 mph, creating challenging conditions for both air and maritime travel. Airports such as BWI and MTN are experiencing patches of dense fog, but visibility is anticipated to improve by late morning.
Looking ahead, the weather forecast indicates a brief respite on Thursday with dry conditions and light southerly winds. However, this calm will be short-lived as another cold front is set to disrupt the weather again by Friday. Rainfall amounts of up to 1 inch are expected over the weekend, particularly before the front passes late Saturday night.
Travelers should remain alert, as the fluctuating conditions will affect outdoor activities and transportation. Small craft advisories have been issued for the northern Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters due to choppy seas resulting from the approaching front. Mariners are advised to exercise caution as west-northwest winds could reach up to 25 knots.
This week’s weather unpredictability has residents on edge, emphasizing the need to stay updated on forecasts. The promise of stable weather may arrive early next week, but for now, Baltimoreans must prepare for a weather roller coaster that could impact daily plans significantly.
Stay tuned for updates as conditions evolve and the National Weather Service provides ongoing forecasts. Whether by land, air, or sea, Baltimore’s residents and visitors are encouraged to keep a close eye on the skies.
