Sunny, Breezy & Mild — A Beautiful Stretch Before Changes Arrive Late Week

Good morning, Maryland. It’s a genuinely lovely November Sunday on tap — sunshine wall to wall, temperatures nudging a few degrees milder than Saturday, and just enough breeze to remind you fall hasn’t left the building. NWS Baltimore/Washington (345 AM issuance) and NWS Mount Holly (121 AM issuance) are both on the same page: dry and gradually milder through midweek, with the real story brewing for late week. No active watches, warnings, or advisories anywhere in Maryland this morning — enjoy the quiet.

Today’s Timeline

• Early morning: Some leftover thin, high cirrus drifting through, especially north and east — harmless, and it clears out shortly after sunrise.
• Mid-morning into afternoon: Skies go fully sunny area-wide. West winds build to 10-20 mph with gusts near 25 mph in spots, strongest across the Baltimore-Washington corridor and the Shore.
• Afternoon peak: Highs arrive mid-afternoon, generally around 60-63° across the central and eastern two-thirds of the state, with Garrett County in the western mountains topping out around 52°.
• Evening into overnight: Winds relax, skies stay clear to mostly clear, and temperatures fall back into the 30s to mid 40s depending on location.

No rain, no snow, nothing to track today — just a crisp, breezy, good-to-be-outside kind of day.

Garrett County (Deep Creek/Oakland): Mostly sunny, high near 52°, west wind around 14 mph. Overnight drops to 35°, mostly cloudy skies moving in. Good day for a lake-view hike, jacket recommended for the breeze.

Allegany County (Cumberland): Sunny and the mildest spot in the state relatively speaking, high around 61°, light west winds near 6-12 mph. Clear early tonight, falling to about 41°.

Northern & Central Maryland

Washington County (Hagerstown): Sunny, high 63°, west wind 6-13 mph. Clear tonight, low near 41°.

Carroll County: Same story as Frederick — sunny, high near 63°, dropping to the low 40s overnight under clearing skies.

Baltimore Metro

Baltimore City & County: Sunny, high 63°, west wind 7-13 mph — a solid day for anything outdoors. Mostly clear tonight, low near 47°.

Harford County: Tracking with the Baltimore gridpoint — sunny, around 63°, breezy, settling into the mid-to-upper 40s overnight.

Southern Maryland

Charles, Calvert & St. Mary’s Counties: Sunny skies, high near 62°, west wind 7-13 mph. Clear overnight with lows near 42°. A frost advisory is in effect just south of us in northern Virginia tonight — Southern Maryland stays just above that threshold, but it’ll feel like a proper autumn night.

Upper Eastern Shore

Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot & Caroline Counties: Sunny, high around 61°, lighter west wind 5-10 mph. Clear tonight, low near 47° — one of the milder overnight spots thanks to Bay influence.

Lower Eastern Shore

Dorchester, Wicomico & Somerset Counties: Sunny, high near 60°, west wind 7-12 mph. Clear tonight, low near 44°.

Ocean City & the Coast

Worcester County: Sunny at the beach, high near 60°, breezier here with west winds 10-14 mph. Clear tonight, low near 49° — mildest overnight low on this list. No marine hazards flagged for Maryland waters this morning, though a Small Craft Advisory has just been issued for Monday as winds strengthen behind tonight’s front — if you’re boating or heading out on the water, plan around that, not today.

Active Hazards

No active watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Maryland as of this morning. A Small Craft Advisory is newly issued by NWS Baltimore/Washington for Maryland’s tidal waters and the Chesapeake Bay beginning Monday as a cold front pushes through and winds pick up — more on that below. A Frost Advisory is posted this morning for parts of northern Virginia (Prince William, Spotsylvania, and nearby), but it does not extend into Maryland.

Severe & Flooding

None. No severe weather or flooding concerns anywhere in Maryland today or tonight.

Winds, Humidity & the Bay

Winds run west around 10-20 mph for most of the state today with gusts near 25 mph possible, especially toward the Baltimore corridor, the Shore, and the coast — breezy enough to notice, not disruptive. Humidity stays comfortably low under the dry air mass. On the water, expect building winds and choppier conditions by Monday as the aforementioned Small Craft Advisory takes effect across the Bay and tidal Potomac — today itself is manageable for boating, but have a plan for tomorrow.

Tonight’s Lows by Zone

Looking Ahead

Monday brings a dry cold front through with gusty northwest winds returning — strong enough to prompt that new Small Craft Advisory on the Bay and tidal rivers — but temperatures hold steady, similar to today, thanks to downsloping. Tuesday turns noticeably milder still, with highs reaching the mid-60s to near 70 inland (upper 50s to near 60 in the mountains) as a warm southwest flow takes over ahead of another weak trough. Wednesday stays dry and mild behind that system before colder air and increasing clouds arrive Thursday. Confidence is still developing on exact details, but model guidance agrees a potentially strong coastal storm — possibly a nor’easter — will be in play late this week, with a real chance some precipitation changes over to snow at higher elevations Thursday night into Friday as colder air filters in from the north. We’ll have much tighter numbers as we get closer; for now, just know the mild stretch is temporary and a pattern change is coming.
