BALTIMORE — Good Monday evening everyone! The Storm Prediction Center has placed the majority of the area under a rare Moderate Risk (level 4/5) as long-lived intense severe storms are expected mid-afternoon through the evening hours. The potential for damaging wind gusts is the greatest. A Tornado Watch is up for central Maryland until 9:00 PM EDT. The eastern shore is until 11:00 PM EDT. A watch means that conditions are favorable for development! This may lead to scattered power outages and downed trees. Heavy rainfall, large-sized hail, and a tornado or two are also possible. Make sure you know your safe place and have your plan ready to go! High pressure builds into the region-yielding drier conditions through mid-week. Another disturbance brings the chance for isolated pop-up thunderstorms on Thursday. There is a slight chance of an afternoon storm on Friday. High temperatures will range in the upper-80s late-week. The potential for showers and storms lingers into the weekend with highs in the low-90s.
Stay safe!
