Damaging winds are likely to reach between 55 and 70 mph near and east of I-95, according to the National Weather Service. There’s a greater potential for tornadoes near the I-70 corridor east of Frederick.
The rest of the week will be just as wet, with chances of showers and thunderstorms increasing in the afternoon hours, according to the National Weather Service.
Storms have begun moving across Maryland, delaying the Orioles game at Camden Yards and raising concerns about flash flooding, damaging winds and dangerous evening conditions across much of the state.
Two confirmed tornadoes touched down on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and three hit Anne Arundel County during Tuesday night’s storms, weather officials said, leaving a trail of damage behind.
Rounds of thunderstorms are expected to move through the region and Maryland’s coast, with frequent lightning posing the biggest threat through much of the week.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms could develop Wednesday afternoon and evening, though forecasters say today’s storms are expected to be less severe.
