People in parts of Baltimore City and Baltimore County faced a tornado in Maryland warning on Monday as hot, more humid air gave way to another round of storms. A severe thunderstorm watch also covered parts of Maryland until 9 p.m.
Monday’s weather carried feel-like temperatures near 100 degrees, with some showers and storms possible in the late afternoon and evening. Any storm that developed could bring damaging winds, small hail, isolated tornadoes and downpours.
Baltimore City and Baltimore County
The warning covered part of Baltimore City and County, putting those areas under a more immediate alert than the broader watch elsewhere in Maryland. That split is what readers should track: a watch signals conditions for storms, while a warning means a tornado threat has already been identified for part of the area.
For people in the warned area, the practical step is to treat the alert as the higher priority message and follow local instructions until the warning ends. The broader watch remained in place through 9 p.m., so even areas outside the warning could still see storm development later in the day.
Tuesday and Wednesday
The forecast pointed to more widespread rain on Tuesday, followed by spotty storms on Wednesday. Rain chances were expected to decrease by the end of the week and weekend, when lower humidity levels were also expected to return.
That means Monday’s warning was not the last weather issue in the stretch, but it was the most urgent one for people in Baltimore City and Baltimore County while it was active. The immediate question for readers in the warned area is which specific locations were included, since the alert covered only part of the city and county.
