The warm air comes first as most of the area will see highs reaching the low to mid-80s Thursday and upper 80s to 90° on Friday. There are quite a few clouds around Thursday morning and they could deliver a sprinkle of rain in northern Maryland but the vast majority of the area won't have to worry about rain until late Friday afternoon and evening.

  • 14 but we have hit 80° in the first week of November as recently as 2022 and 2024.
