BALTIMORE — Isolated severe storms are possible this evening into tonight. More widespread strong storms are likely Sunday. FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS have been issued for this evening into the early overnight hours and again on Sunday for more widespread strong to severe storm chances.
It’s been a steamy and hot Saturday afternoon with high temperatures in the lower 90s. Factor in the humidity, and feels like temperatures have soared into the upper 90s. So far it’s been a dry and quiet day with a mixture of sunshine & clouds.
Isolated to scattered strong to severe storms are possible this evening into the early overnight hours. While not everyone will see these storms, places that do could experience damaging winds and the threat of an isolated tornado. Right now the highest risk appears to be just north & west of Baltimore across Carroll, Baltimore, and Harford counties. However, isolated severe storms cannot be ruled out anywhere in our region.
STORM POTENTIAL THROUGH SUNDAY: Isolated strong to severe storms may form late this evening into early overnight, but much better chance for strong to severe storms exists Sunday. There could be a few clusters from early afternoon into evening. We need rain, but not severe! @WJZ pic.twitter.com/kzc9qdmdWk

We’ll likely see several rounds of strong to severe storms on Sunday. We are in a level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms. Clouds with limited sunshine is expected during the morning, which will allow temperatures to quickly soar into the lower 90s by lunchtime. Clusters of strong to severe storms are likely from early Sunday afternoon through the mid-evening hours. There will be several gaps when it’s not raining, so Sunday will not be a washout. Highs will top out in the lower 90s with feels like temperatures near 100…
