Stormy day across parts of Maryland

Several rounds of thunderstorms moving from the Great Lakes are likely to hit the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday. Record warm nighttime temperatures and high humidity could keep the thunderstorms strong into the early hours of Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.

While Wednesday morning started mostly sunny, clouds will take over starting 10 a.m., said Kevin Witt, a meteorologist for the weather service’s Baltimore/Washington office. Rain will likely start to fall beginning 2 p.m. and strong thunderstorms with damaging winds and downpours are likely until 10 p.m., Witt said.

It won’t be raining the entire time, Witt said, but multiple clusters of storms will be moving through the region throughout the day.

“We have a lot of humidity, a lot of moisture, and all it takes is a cluster of storms to get things going,” he said.

The Storm Prediction Center is putting Central Maryland at a level two out of five in terms of risk of severe storms. Witt advises Marylanders to stay tuned for any alerts in case of thunderstorm warnings.

The cold front is expected to clear out by the end of the week. Temperatures will likely drop by Labor Day, with a mild and dry weather forecast.
