(Baltimore, MD) -- Severe weather —with possibly high winds, hail and an isolated tornado —is forecast across Maryland today.
Much of the area is now under a Moderate (Level 4 of 5) Risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Widespread damaging wind gusts are likely, with potential for locally destructive winds. Tornadoes and large hail are also possible. Have a way to receive warnings! pic.twitter.com/6gINUGKGi7

The greatest chance for strong storms is expected during rush hour this afternoon.
The possibility for thunderstorms will diminish after tonight, though a chance for more storms remains through tomorrow night in Baltimore.
Some perspective: This is the first moderate risk for severe weather in at least 10 years for much of our forecast area.
