July 1 Severe Storm Risk Today And Recap Of Storms Yesterday

Tuesday, July 1, 2025

Morning Report

We have one more day with severe storms that will erupt this afternoon and evening. This will be more widespread than yesterday, but the storms will be moving as opposed to the nearly stalled cells that hit both Delaware beaches and Northeastern Maryland.

A new air mass will follow with sunshine and lower humidity into the holiday weekend.

Before we get to that, I want to show a brief recap of the storms yesterday.

Stalled Storm By The Delaware Beaches

3-Hour Radar Loop

This developed on a sea breeze and dumped a few inches of rain. There was a possible tornado in Sussex County’s town of Franklin.

Flooding in Baltimore and Harford County

3-Hour Radar Loop

The storm over Kingsville in eastern Baltimore County nearly stalled and was followed by another line. This slowly expanded over Bel Air and eastward.

Rainfall Estimate

3 to over 5 inches of rain in the hardest hit areas north of Kingsville to Fallston and Bel Air.

Storm Reports Monday

The focus is around Kingsville in Baltimore County and Fallston to Bel Air in Harford County.

Wind damage and local flooding.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. 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 during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
