An ENHANCED risk for strong storms in Maryland
BALTIMORE — Monday August 7, 2023, the Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire state of Maryland under a level 3/5 ENHANCED risk or strong to severe storms.

Afternoon upscale growth along with the proximity to the Chesapeake Bay will give way to maximized wind gust potential. The SPC has us under a 45% damaging wind threat… the DMV has never been under a 45% day two risk. Expect power outages and trees to fall. The hail risk is 15% and the tornado threat is 5%.
