In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The watch indicates that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms that could produce damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The threat is most pronounced for this afternoon and evening. In addition to high winds and potential twisters, there is a risk of scattered urban and poor drainage flooding, particularly along and north of the Interstate 66 corridor, as multiple rounds of thunderstorms are possible. This outlook highlights the need for vigilance and preparedness for potential disruptions.
The hazardous weather outlook specifically mentions counties in Maryland including Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Dorchester, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Kent, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, St. Mary’s, Talbot, Washington, Wicomico, and Worcester. In Virginia, affected areas include Augusta, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Page, Warren, Clarke, Nelson, Albemarle, Greene, Madison, Rappahannock, Orange, Culpeper, and Fauquier counties, as well as Western and Eastern Loudoun, Northern Virginia Blue Ridge, Central Virginia Blue Ridge, and Northwest Prince William. For West Virginia, the watch covers Hampshire, Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson, and Hardy counties. The National Weather Service is advising that spotter activation may be necessary today due to the potential for severe weather. No hazardous weather is anticipated for the following seven days, from Tuesday through Sunday.
