Tuesday forecast calls for sun, highs in the mid-70s

The Baltimore region can expect sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid-70s on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The cooler, clearer air comes after higher temperatures and poor air quality on consecutive days last week, and is expected to last through Wednesday, the weather service said.

Skies will remain mostly clear tonight, with temperatures dropping into the 50s, the weather service said. On Wednesday, forecasts call for more sun with temperatures reaching into the upper-70s.

Clouds are expected to begin rolling in on Wednesday evening, with Thursday expected to be mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms — more of which are expected over the weekend.
