BALTIMORE — Severe weather shifted into the WMAR-2 News viewing area.
Our biggest concern is a rotating thunderstorm, with damaging winds, hail and heavy downpours as the biggest threat.
Tornado Warnings were issued in Howard County and in Baltimore County until 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed the area under a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) as there may be an isolated strong storm that develops late tonight - early Thursday.
Wind, hail, and heavy rain will be the main concerns. The National Weather Service has placed us under a Flood Watch through 6am tomorrow morning.
The weather pattern dries out Thursday afternoon through Friday with seasonal temperatures, in the mid-80s. Showers and storms are possible on Saturday with below normal temperatures, in the upper-70s. Temperatures will recover back into the 80s on Sunday with drier conditions prevailing. It will be a warm and comfy start to early next week.
