Severe Storm Risk
There will be storms, but not all will turn severe. The few that do may bring:
- Wind gusts to 60 mph
- Large hail
- Isolated Tornadoes
Any storm may produce dangerous lightning or Flash Flooding.
Flash Flood Watch
Behind the line of storms, there will be an extended period of rain. Some may be heavy. Give the heat wave and dry ground, downpours may have trouble draining.
Rainfall Potential
Central Maryland to parts of Delmarva may receive between 1 and 3 inches of rain.

Sunshine State Of Mind
I am done with the cold and snow (for the season). I am embracing my wife’s mantra of Sunshine State of Mind.
