Scattered thunderstorms could dampen Sail250, Orioles game

Intermittent heavy rain, wind gusts and lightning could bring Sail250 visitors and Orioles fans inside Saturday evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Although there’s a low chance of severe weather, thunderstorms could interrupt Baltimore’s outdoor events throughout the day, said Erik Taylor, a meteorologist with the weather service.

The highest chance of thunderstorms will be from 4-9 p.m., he added, but neither day will be a complete “washout.”

“Be aware of the changing weather conditions,” Taylor said. “When thunder roars, we want you to go indoors.”

Fans heading to Camden Yards for the 7:05 p.m. game against the Nationals should wear rain gear.

Scattered storms remain possible Sunday.

Temperatures will hit the low 80s on Saturday and climb to the mid- to high 80s on Sunday.

Expect this weekend to be some reprieve before a heat wave settles on the mid-Atlantic. It will likely start Tuesday and end around the Fourth of July holiday.

High temperatures will be 90-100 degrees next week.
