BALTIMORE — ** A Tornado Watch has been issued for central Maryland and parts of the eastern shore till 11 PM EDT.** Good Monday evening everyone! It is starting to get stormy. Given the warm and moist air right ahead of the cold front, this gives us the right ingredients for some storms to get on the strong to severe side of things. The Storm Prediction Center has us under a Slight (level 2/5) risk for today with damaging winds, large hail, and brief spin-ups all possible. The timing of the severe storms will begin around 3 pm for our western counties and wrap up by 9 pm for our Eastern Shore viewers. Be sure to stay weather-aware and have a secure way to get alerts. The following days, Tuesday and Wednesday, will see a few afternoon showers in the wake of the cold front but no severe weather is expected. Temperatures will continue to drop along with rain chances by the end of the week. The weekend as of right now is looking dry and comfortable with temperatures in the low 80s and dry skies.
Stay safe and have a great day!
