BALTIMORE — Jackets will be needed for the morning hours this week, however, afternoons will be sunny & warm through Wednesday.

After a spectacular Sunday of weather with abundant sunshine and highs in the middle 70s, we are looking at a clear and quiet evening. With a moonlit & starlit sky, temperatures will dip into the 50s by 9 PM. Overnight lows will be in the upper 30s to mid to upper 40s.

The Orionid Meteor Shower should be most visible after midnight through the predawn hours. At its peak, you’ll be able to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour. The best chance of seeing meteors will be away from city lights. Give your eyes an hour or so to adjust to the night sky.
