In terms of climate data, Baltimore's average conditions this time of year show a normal low of 26°F, with a record low of just 1°F set back in 1982. This harsh weather is juxtaposed by concerns from 2024, where the city has faced an 8-inch deficit in rainfall, raising worries over possible drought conditions in the months to come.

Looking Forward

The long-range outlook from NOAA indicates that the Polar Vortex is set to influence weather patterns across the Northern Plains within the next week, which may lead to fluctuating temperatures. Residents can look forward to warmer conditions in the mid-30s next weekend, although a couple of disturbances may bring flurries throughout the week.
