The extreme heat and severe storms have already caused significant disruptions, including power outages and property damage in Maryland. The storms pose risks of damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and lightning, with a heightened potential for flooding on Monday and Tuesday due to slower-moving storms. Residents in affected areas should remain vigilant as the weather pattern continues to bring hazardous conditions. The combination of heat and storms could also pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
