Baltimore Faces Early Month Heatwave With Mid-90s Forecast and Storm Risk

Baltimore, MD, September 1, 2026 —

Baltimore is beginning the month under a spell of intense heat and humidity. Meteorologists are forecasting temperatures to climb into the mid-90s Fahrenheit across the city and surrounding areas, with this pattern expected to persist throughout the entire workweek.

In addition to the significant heat, residents can anticipate a notable level of mugginess accompanying the high temperatures. This combination is likely to create uncomfortable conditions for outdoor activities and may pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations.

The forecast also indicates a possibility of thunderstorms developing during the week. While specific timing and intensity of any potential storms remain subject to change, their presence adds another layer of variability to the week’s weather outlook. Residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates as the week progresses.

The exact start date for this heatwave was not specified in the trend summary, beyond it being a “start to the month.” Similarly, the duration of the mid-90s temperatures beyond “throughout the workweek” was not detailed. The potential for storms has been noted as a general “chance” without specific days or times being highlighted.
