Record-Setting Weather Expected In MD This Weekend: Latest Forecast

MARYLAND — Potentially record-breaking temperatures are predicted this weekend in parts of Maryland. The fleeting heat will come to a quick end by the start of the next work week, though.

The temperature forecast for Friday is in the low-80s. Baltimore's record for Oct. 27 is 82 degrees, set in 1963. High pressure remains the dominant force through the weekend, WJZ News reported.

AccuWeather forecasters say the Baltimore area could see high temperatures climb into the mid-80s on Saturday.

The last time Baltimore recorded a high temperature above 80 degrees on Oct. 28 occurred in 1984, nearly 40 years ago, when temperatures reached 83, according to AccuWeather data. The record high for Oct. 28 in Baltimore is 87 degrees, set in 1919.

"Skies should stay fairly sunny most of the day," the Capital Weather Gang said about Saturday's weather. "High temperatures again eye record and near-record levels, in the upper 70s to mid-80s."

Some precipitation is possible during the weekend, most likely Sunday in the Baltimore area. Forecasters say that a wet pattern may expand to areas along the mid-Atlantic coast by the end of the weekend into early next week.

The warm air will not linger, however.

By Tuesday, which is Halloween, chilly weather will begin to spread across the region, with daytime highs reaching into the low- to mid-50s in central Maryland.

By Halloween night, temperatures could dip into the 40s in the Baltimore area.

"Chilly, breezy 40s may start our Tuesday. Shower chances, clouds, and perhaps waves of light rain may dominate the day," the Capital Weather Gang said. "High temperatures could get stuck in the upper 40s to mid-50s if we see as many persistent clouds as it currently appears."
