Overview
- A slow-moving cold front is producing scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Baltimore area with locally heavy rainfall.
- Drier air is expected to arrive for a brief break on Tuesday before storm chances return and intensify later in the week.
- Wednesday is forecast to be the wettest day with showers possible at all hours and a heightened risk of torrential downpours and flash flooding in low-lying and poor-drainage areas.
- Any storm could produce dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning, damaging straight-line winds and falling limbs that may cause power outages, and BGE asks customers to report outages via its website, app or phone line.
- The region is in a broader pattern of slow-moving fronts and elevated tropical moisture that has produced repeated heavy-rain rounds and will keep daily afternoon and evening storm chances as heat and humidity rebuild later in the week.
