Isolated Storms Today; Severe Weather Likely Tomorrow

A frontal boundary is stalling out to our south. As it does, an area of low pressure will ride along the front, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the area tonight and tomorrow.

Meanwhile, today will be partly sunny, warm and humid with an isolated shower or thunderstorm possible this afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90.

Thunderstorm activity will actually increase tonight as a piece of energy moves through the area. Some of these storms may become severe with damaging winds and heavy rainfall.

A thunderstorm complex over the midwest will move eastward tomorrow morning, bringing a chance of morning rain or thunderstorms to the area. Regardless of that system, as the low and cold front approach, all signs point to strong to severe thunderstorms developing over the area by afternoon. A wide-spread severe weather event is looking likely tomorrow afternoon, with damaging winds, large hail, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes possible across the entire state but especially along central and eastern Maryland. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

Partly Sunny Today; Slight Chance of a Shower

Today will offer a brief respite from the heavy rainfall events that have been affecting the area lately. A cold front is currently moving through the state and until it clears the area, a slight chance of showers exists.

The front should push off the coast by this afternoon, ending the rain threat. Highs today will be in the low to mid 80s under eventual partly sunny skies.

High pressure builds in briefly this afternoon and tonight before the next rain maker begins to take aim on the area. The cold front that is currently pushing through will stall out to our south and remain stationary through Thursday.

For tomorrow, thunderstorms over the midwest may ride along the boundary and affect our area during the afternoon and evening. These storms could be severe with damaging winds, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.

Another Rainy Day

As a warm front moves northward today and a cold front approaches from the west, several rounds of heavy rainfall will move through today. Additionally, thunderstorms are likely this afternoon, producing locally heavy rainfall and strong gusty winds.

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for all of central Maryland, while a general Flood Watch is in effect for the Eastern Shore. Highs today will be in the mid 70s.

Rainfall will begin to taper off later tonight as the cold front moves through.

The front will clear the area tomorrow morning, but will stall out to our south. This will allow for a slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Highs will be in the low 80s.

TS Andrea to Bring Heavy Rain Today

Tropical Storm Andrea will continue to move northeastward along a frontal boundary today and tonight, bringing heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms to the area. Highs today will be in the mid 70s.

Over an inch of rain has fallen across most of the state and another 2-3 inches with isolated spots over 4 are possible today and tonight. Consequently, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for most of the state, east of the mountains through tonight.

Rain from Andrea will taper off around midnight tonight as the storm system races off to the northeast. Behind the system, warm, moist, tropical air will be left in place. This will set the stage for a muggy Saturday with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be around 80 degrees.

Wet Weather on the Way

A cold front to the west will help draw Tropical Storm Andrea up the coast. The two features will combine to bring heavy rainfall to the region.

Expect showers to move in from the west this afternoon as the cold front approaches. Highs today will be in the mid 70s.

As Andrea moves up the coast and interacts with the front, rainfall will become heavier tonight and tomorrow. Locally heavy rainfall will continue tomorrow and into tomorrow night. Rainfall totals of over 2″ will be likely in many areas. Highs tomorrow will be in the mid 70s.
