Key Points:
- Severe storms on Saturday caused flooding in Frederick County, wind damage in Anne Arundel County (Pasadena), and heavy lightning with rain on Delmarva, but air quality has returned to the good range this morning.
- The storm damage in Central Maryland was mainly due to straight-line winds or microbursts, with possible tornado reports still needing confirmation after a damage survey.
- A new tropical system with a 60% chance of development is being monitored in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially named Bertha, expected to move westward and could impact the region this week.
- The forecast calls for mostly sunny weather on Sunday and Monday, with a 90% chance of thunderstorms returning Tuesday and partly cloudy skies with showers on Wednesday.
- The report also highlights ongoing drought conditions with a significant rainfall deficit since January 2024, and promotes local community events and nonprofit fundraising efforts supporting children with cancer.
