Strong storms with 60-70 mph wind gusts moving through Maryland
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST TOM TASSELMYER ALL AROUND THE MID-ATLANTIC TODAY, A CLASSIC SETUP FOR SEVERE STORMS WHICH ARE MOVING IN AND MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. EVEN AS WE SPEAK. YOU CAN SEE THE TEMPERATURES ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD SOARING INTO THE LOW 90S ALL THE WAY UP TO BOSTON. 91 RIGHT NOW, AND TEMPERATURES REACH THE LOW 90S AROUND THE BALTIMORE AREA AND POINTS SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN VIRGINIA. AND THEN IN FROM THE WEST COMES A COLD FRONT SLAMMING INTO THAT WARM, HUMID AIR. THE FRONT IS STILL WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS, SO WE’VE GOT A WAYS TO GO BEFORE IT CAN CLEAR THE AREA AND CLEAR THESE STORMS OUT. BUT FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WE’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THAT FRONT, PUSHING INTO THE HOT, HUMID AIR AND GENERATING THE STORMS UP AND DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND THE WARM, MUGGY AIR. THERE ARE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 P.M. TONIGHT. FLOOD WATCH FROM BALTIMORE SOUTH INTO ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY AND EASTERN HOWARD COUNTY. SOME HEAVY RAIN, DAMAGING WINDS ARE COMING THROUGH WITH THIS LINE OF STORMS AND IT’S INTENSE. YOU CAN SEE IT NOW FROM NORTHWESTERN PARTS OF HARFORD COUNTY THROUGH BALTIMORE COUNTY, MOVING INTO WESTERN HOWARD NOW AND DOWN TO NORTHERN VIRGINIA, PUSHING INTO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. SOME REALLY NASTY WINDS COMING OUT OF THAT PART OF THE STORM DOWN THERE. WE’VE GOT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS NOW. THE MAIN IMPACT IS IN HARFORD COUNTY NOW. LOOKS LIKE IT’S BLOWN THROUGH THE NORTHERN PART OF BALTIMORE COUNTY AROUND PARKTON. BUT THIS GOES UNTIL 445. WATCH OUT FOR DAMAGING WINDS UP HERE IN NORTHERN HARFORD COUNTY. TORRENTIAL RAINS AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. ALSO VERY HEAVY RAIN NOW COMING INTO WESTERN HOWARD. A WARNING IS IN EFFECT IN THE EASTERN PART OF HOWARD COUNTY. THAT’S PART OF THAT STORM DOWN TOWARD D.C. THAT ALSO GOES UNTIL FOUR, 45, 60 TO 70 MILE AN HOUR WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS INITIAL LINE OF STORMS THAT STRETCHES FROM SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA TO JUST WEST OF BALTIMORE. IT WILL BLOW THROUGH. BUT THERE’S A SECOND LINE PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT WEAKER, BUT STILL A SECOND LINE THAT WILL COME THROUGH. AND I THINK BY 9:00 TONIGHT WILL PRETTY MUCH BE DONE. THIS IS FUTURECAST AT 515, THE HEAVIEST OF THE STORMS LINED UP RIGHT ALONG INTERSTATE 95 THROUGH BALTIMORE DOWN TO D.C. BY 6 OR 7. IT’S MOSTLY MOVING ACROSS THE BAY ONTO THE EASTERN SHORE. BUT THEN HERE COMES THAT SECONDARY LINE RIGHT AROUND 8:00. SO DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN AFTER THE FIRST LINE MOVES THROUGH. THERE MAY BE A FEW SCATTERED STRONG STORMS MOVING THROUGH THE BALTIMORE AREA AT EIGHT LAST OF THE STORMS, CROSSING THE BAY AT NINE. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE CLEAR THINGS OUT. BIG DIFFERENCE. TOMORROW TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER AND THE HUMIDITY WILL TAKE A BIG DROP. AFTER THESE STORMS MOVE THROUGH, AT LEAST FOR ONE DAY ON FRIDAY. BUT IT’S AN ALERT NIGHT TONIGHT FOR STRONG STORMS UP UNTIL 9 P.M. FOR THE SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR, THEN SUNNY SKIES TOMORROW. WINDS SHIFT TO THE WEST THAT BRINGS IN DRIER AIR, MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE 87 DEGREES ON THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER, OFFICIALLY BEGINNING AT 1042 TOMORROW EVENING. BUT IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER AND YOU NOTICE THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE PLEASANT, THE LOWER HUMIDITY. THAT’S NOT GOING TO STICK AROUND, THOUGH. WE’RE GOING TO GET INTO A REAL HEAT WAVE HERE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. LOW 90S ON SATURDAY. NOT TOO BAD HUMIDITY WISE, BUT THEN UPPER 90S WITH HUMIDITY MAKING IT FEEL LIKE IT’S IN THE LOW 100 SECONDS FOR SEVERAL DAYS FROM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY OF
