The National Weather Service is warning of a severe weather outbreak across the Mid-Atlantic region this afternoon and evening, including the greater Baltimore/Washington metro area.
The NWS Baltimore/Washington office says the main threat window runs from 2 pm to 10 pm today, with the strongest storms expected to reach the Baltimore/Washington area between about 5 pm and 7 pm.
Forecasters say the system could bring damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes, including the possibility of strong tornadoes. The warning has prompted local outlets to urge residents to keep an eye on official alerts as conditions change through the day.
