in

Unsettled weather conditions continue to affect Maryland, with the region experiencing high humidity and temperatures reaching 93 degrees in downtown Baltimore. Thundershowers and heavy downpours are expected throughout the evening, raising concerns for potential flash flooding. Currently, there is a severe thunderstorm warning for areas near Annapolis, indicating that the storm could produce damaging winds and heavy rain, as well as rotational activity.

Residents are being urged to stay alert, as a Flood Watch remains in effect until midnight and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch runs until 10 p.m. The primary risks associated with these storms include heavy rain, with localized flooding possible, and strong winds that may lead to power outages due to downed trees and lines.

The Baltimore Orioles’ game set for Wednesday night has been postponed due to the weather conditions and will be rescheduled as a split-admission double-header on Thursday afternoon. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are projected to continue into the night, particularly affecting the Baltimore area and extending towards the Eastern Shore.

Looking ahead, while the storm activity is expected to diminish after tonight, isolated showers and possible thunderstorms may persist throughout the week, particularly on Thursday and into the weekend. Meteorologists will continue to monitor conditions closely, and it’s advisable for residents to stay informed via local weather alerts and updates.

Stay safe and prepared as we navigate through these challenging weather patterns, and remember to report any power outages promptly to local utilities.
