BALTIMORE — The occasional thunderstorm continues to move through our area tonight as we begin to see the next larger system move in closer tonight. A strong cold front associated with this system will inch through Maryland on Monday, putting us under an Enhanced (3/5) risk for severe weather. The strongest storms will begin to pop off right after lunch and race east over the next few hours. Damaging winds will be the most concerning threat. The middle of the week is dry and comfortable before the chance of rain returns. Preakness if not rainy will be at least muggy so, it will be best to keep an eye out on the weekend.
Stay tuned!
