Maryland Weather: Pleasant Weekend Gives Way to Sunday Storms and a Wet Week Ahead

Baltimore, MD, September 19, 2026 — The weekend in Maryland is set to begin with favorable weather conditions, offering a pleasant and dry start for residents. Temperatures are expected to range from the 70s into the high 80s Fahrenheit, providing a comfortable climate for outdoor activities.

However, this dry spell is anticipated to be short-lived. By Sunday, the weather pattern is projected to shift, bringing the return of rain and thunderstorms. This forecast has led meteorologists to designate Sunday as a First Alert Weather Day across the state.

The approaching system is expected to generate weather conditions that could significantly impact outdoor plans. In Baltimore, in particular, the potential for rain and thunderstorms may affect scheduled sporting events and other outdoor recreational activities. While games are not predicted to be complete washouts, participants and spectators should be prepared for possible disruptions and varying conditions.

Looking ahead to the coming week, the outlook suggests a sustained period of unsettled weather. Daily chances of rain are forecast, and conditions are expected to be both wet and cooler than the weekend’s warmth. Residents are advised to monitor weather updates as the week progresses for specific timing and intensity of precipitation.

The transition from a pleasant weekend to a wet and cooler week highlights the dynamic nature of the region’s weather patterns. The specific timing and severity of Sunday’s storms and the daily rain chances throughout the week will be closely watched by state officials and the public alike.
