Damaging winds, hail, heavy rain and a quick tornado are possible...
Posted

BALTIMORE — Monday August 7, 2023, the Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire state of Maryland under a level 3/5 ENHANCED risk or strong to severe storms. The main timing of this line looks to be between 2-7 PM EDT. The main threat is damaging winds. Afternoon upscale growth along with the proximity to the Chesapeake Bay will give way to maximized wind gust potential. The SPC has us under a 45% damaging wind threat... the DMV has never been under a 45% day two risk. Expect power outages and trees to fall. The hail risk is 15% and the tornado threat is 5%. Make sure you have a plan in play tomorrow to get weather alerts!
