Baltimore weather: Strong thunderstorms possible Sunday night A line of strong thunderstorms is expected to develop in Central Pennsylvania late Sunday afternoon, with the potential to drift toward Maryland by evening. These storms could bring rain into early Monday morning, affecting the Baltimore metro area. While daytime temperatures will reach near 80 degrees, a cold front moving in from the north will trigger the storm activity. The National Weather Service has warned that the best chance for severe weather will be in Northern Maryland near the state line and Southern Pennsylvania. Storms are projected to weaken as they approach the Baltimore region, but residents should monitor radar updates and forecasts for the latest developments. Rain is expected to persist through the Monday morning commute, with temperatures dropping significantly to the 50s. The National Weather Service has also issued a reminder about potential power outages due to storm-related damage, such as fallen tree limbs on power lines. Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) encourages customers to report outages via their website, mobile app, text message, or phone. The WBAL-TV 11 Weather Team has highlighted the storm system as an Impact Day, meaning weather conditions could disrupt daily routines. The station also provided a step-by-step guide for users to access severe weather alerts through their app. Additionally, the article included a social media post from Dalencia Jenkins, urging drivers to budget extra time for the morning commute due to the rain and possible thunderstorms. Residents are advised to stay tuned to local weather updates and take precautions, especially with the potential for strong winds and small hail.#national_weather_service #baltimore_gas_and_electric #baltimore #wbal_tv #dalencia_jenkins
Storm Update: Baltimore Officials Urge Residents to Stay Alert as Wind Advisory Continues Baltimore officials are closely monitoring severe weather conditions across the region following the National Weather Service’s decision to lift a tornado watch and severe storm warning earlier Monday. However, a wind advisory remains in effect for the city. Mayor Brandon Scott announced Monday evening that the city’s Emergency Operations Center has been demobilized, though agencies will continue coordinating across departments to track the storm’s impact and respond to any emergencies. The National Weather Service ended the tornado watch and severe storm warning at 3:30 p.m., which had been issued for parts of Maryland and Virginia, including Baltimore City. Despite the lifting of the warnings, forecasts still predict heavy rain, thunderstorms, and wind gusts reaching up to 50 miles per hour through the evening. City officials are advising residents to remain vigilant and prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions. Several city services and facilities closed early Monday as a precaution. The Department of Public Works shut down the Quarantine Road Landfill, the Northwest Transfer Station, and all residential recycling centers at 1 p.m. Evening street sweeping routes were also canceled due to the storm forecast. All branches of the Enoch Pratt Free Library closed early and suspended programming for the day. Regional recreation centers, including Rita Church Community Center, Middle Branch Fitness & Wellness, C.C. Jackson Recreation Center, and Cahill Fitness & Wellness Center, also closed early. Baltimore City Recreation & Parks canceled all permitted events and activities scheduled after 1 p.m.#national_weather_service #baltimore_city #mayor_brandon_scott #baltimore_gas_and_electric #bmorealert
