Severe Storms To Bring MD Heavy Rain, Damaging Winds: See The Timeline

MARYLAND — The looming evening commute is expected to be seriously impacted by rounds of severe weather moving into parts of Maryland.

Weather outlooks issued by the National Weather Service indicate the region will see severe scattered thunderstorms capable of creating damaging winds, frequent lightning and heavy rain.

The storms are rolling in on a cold front that has put the majority of the D.C. area under a slight risk for severe storms.

What Time Does The Storm Hit?

"Isolated tornadoes are possible this afternoon and evening," reads the latest notice issued by the NWS.

"Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are possible, which could lead to scattered instances of urban and poor drainage flooding in the Baltimore-Washington metro area."

Residents may begin to experience some inclement weather starting as early as 4 p.m., but the heaviest portion of the storm is forecast to arrive around 6 p.m.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for much of the region until 9 p.m.

What About The Rest Of The Week?

Temperatures for Monday may get into the low-90s, but humid conditions are likely to place feels-like temperatures closer to the mid-90s.

However, once the storm moves through the area, temperatures will plummet as low as the high 6os.

With overnight rainfall possible, residents can anticipate cooler and slightly muggy conditions by Tuesday.
