Maryland braces for fluctuating weekend weather patterns

In Maryland, the weather is presenting a mix of experiences this weekend, starting Saturday, August 23, 2025. Residents woke up to crisp conditions, with temperatures in the mid 50s due to clear skies and low humidity overnight. This pleasant weather is ideal for outdoor activities, with many residents attending events such as the Ravens game and the State Fair. However, as the day progresses, temperatures are expected to rise into the 80s, particularly in Baltimore City. The UV index is also noticeable, suggesting a need for sun protection when outdoors. As the weekend continues, humidity levels will begin to rise during the evening, transforming the comfortable feel of Saturday into a more humid atmosphere overnight, with lows in the 60s and 70s. Sunday will mirror Saturday's highs, reaching into the 80s for most areas in Maryland. However, the weather pattern will shift as clouds increase and chances of scattered showers appear, particularly in the eastern regions of the state. It’s likely that the second half of the weekend will experience these showers. Looking ahead to Monday, which marks the first day of school for many students, the forecast indicates possible showers at bus stops, although the day is expected to clear up by the afternoon, offering brighter skies. The weather during the coming week is anticipated to feel more autumn-like, with cooler temperatures that will lead to conditions more typical of fall and nighttime lows dropping into the 50s. Some valleys, especially in western Maryland, could see temperatures dip into the 30s during the middle of the week. As high pressure settles over the state, residents will enjoy a stretch of pleasant weather characterized by lower humidity and higher temperatures. Nonetheless, forecasters predict a cold front moving through, which will bring intermittent storms and showers late Sunday. While instability appears limited, the potential for severe weather remains low. Overall, a change in weather is expected towards the latter part of the week when another front may bring further rain and storms, indicating an unpredictable transition into the fall season.
