Severe thunderstorms


MARYLAND, USA — A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for parts of Maryland, including Baltimore, Harford, Carroll, Cecil, and Frederick counties, with the alert remaining in effect until 6:45 PM on June 6.

Meteorologists warn that strong thunderstorms moving through the region could produce damaging wind gusts and large hail capable of causing property damage, downing tree limbs, and creating hazardous travel conditions.

Residents are being urged to seek shelter indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and stay away from windows during the storm. Drivers should exercise caution, as heavy rain and strong winds may reduce visibility and make road conditions dangerous.

Emergency management officials recommend securing outdoor objects, charging electronic devices, and monitoring local weather updates as conditions can change rapidly.

The National Weather Service continues to monitor the storm system and may issue additional alerts if severe weather intensifies.

People in the affected areas are advised to remain weather-aware and be prepared to take immediate action if further warnings are issued.
