Severe Thunderstorms Today into Tonight

An area of low pressure moving into a very unstable atmosphere has touched off a line of thunderstorms this morning. The line is currently moving into central Maryland. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for this line. Expect frequent lightning, very heavy rainfall, large hail and strong gusty winds with this line of storms.

Light rain will continue behind the line for a few hours. As the low moves to our north this afternoon, winds will turn southerly and the atmosphere will destabilize again. Another round of severe thunderstorms is expected this afternoon and evening across the area. These storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, heavy rainfall and tornadoes. It will be warm, humid and windy today, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and winds gusting to 35mph.

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.

Morning Fog; Afternoon Thunderstorms

Dense fog will continue to lift this morning, leaving cloudy conditions. As we warm this afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop again. Some of the storms could produce locally heavy rainfall. Highs today will push into the mid to upper 70s.

High pressure builds in tonight and into tomorrow, before the next weather maker begins to affect us tomorrow afternoon. A cold front to the west will provide forcing to help shower and thunderstorm development during the afternoon and evening. Some of the storms could become strong to severe with gusty winds and hail. Highs tomorrow will push into the 80s.

The shower and storm threat will continue Friday night and Saturday as the front continues to march into the area. The storms Saturday afternoon and evening could once again turn severe. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s.
