December Severe Weather Outbreak

Powerful storms will impact holiday travel just before Christmas Eve. Maryland will stay clear of wide spread severe weather, but storms will be possible for the Baltimore area. 

The Culprit: A Spring Like Pattern

High pressure is in position over the Atlantic, pumping heat & moisture as far north as the Great Lakes. Temps will average 15° to 20° above normal due to this set up. Severe storms are always possible with a set up like this, but the need a "Lifting Mechanism" - and today we have one ↓

A strong low pressure is moving thru the Southern Plains and Midwest bringing the potential for damaging winds & tornados. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a rare Moderate Risk of severe weather for the areas shaded in red. ↓

If you're traveling in these areas or know someone living in these areas, please encourage them to be weather aware. Cold season severe weather usually catches people off guard.
