Tuesday Night Update
The heightened anticipation of severe storms for Central Maryland today lived up to expectations. A large path of storm reports with a trail of tree damage stretches across a large area.
What I noticed were two distinct storm damage tracks. If you were following my reports, this fit close to the NAM 3Km Model simulation.
There have been so many reports, it has been overwhelming to document, but I wanted to share what I could this evening, especially with over 150,000 customers who lost power in our region.
In this report you will see the radar recap, storm report maps and lists by county. I have also included a few videos and new storm photos to help show an idea of how this affected the region. There were may who believe a tornado blew through. I can not confirm that until The National Weather Service conducts a site survey. That is up to their discretion.
Storm Damage Maps

*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
