After storms rolled over the region, a cold front is plunging temperatures Tuesday across much of Maryland.

High temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s, according to the National Weather Service, with lows in the upper 20s. Blustery winds are expected to continue, but they’ll be milder than what was previously forecast.

A line of severe storms crossed the eastern United States on Monday, putting much of the mid-Atlantic region on a tornado watch. The NWS lifted the advisory for most of the state in the afternoon, though the potential for damaging winds and severe thunderstorms continued into the evening.

Meteorologists are still surveying for damage in areas that were under tornado warnings, said Chris Strong with the weather service’s Baltimore/Washington office. Parts of the state, including in Caroline, Carroll, Howard, Montgomery, Queen Anne’s and Talbot counties, were briefly under tornado warnings.

“Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but we’re still working on that through today as well,” he said.

Still, the storms disrupted travel, prompting hundreds of flight cancellations and delays at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and other area airports. Delays are expected to persist Tuesday.

Thousands of people in the Baltimore region also lost power as the storms downed trees and caused other issues. As of 9 a.m., Baltimore Gas and Electric was working to address more than 200 outages affecting just over 4,000 customers, said company spokesperson Nicholas Alexopulos.

“We expect the vast majority of customers who lost service yesterday to be restored by 11 p.m. today,” Alexopulos said in an email, adding that power has already been restored to more than 20,000 customers.

Temperatures will slowly climb back up by the end of the week, according to the NWS, with highs in the 50s on Thursday and Friday and a high of 62 on Saturday.
