Sunny with highs in the 70s!
BALTIMORE — Happy Tuesday! A Frost Advisory is in place for all areas until 9 AM as temperatures could drop as low as 34°. Cover up the sensitive plants or bring them inside if they are portable! High pressure yields plenty of sunshine and seasonable temperatures today, in the low-70s. A few showers are possible ahead of a cold front overnight with some spotty showers during the morning drive. The cold front slides through during the afternoon- producing isolated rain showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder. Dry skies are expected late-week with ample sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures, in the low to mid-60s. More clouds build in over the weekend with the chance of a few showers. Some uncertainty exists so it's something we will monitor closely. Feeling more summer-like on Sunday and early next week with highs in the low to mid-80s!
