The severe storms pose significant risks to residents in the Baltimore metro area and surrounding regions. High wind gusts of 60-80 mph could lead to property damage, downed trees, and power outages. Localized street flooding is possible due to heavy downpours, particularly in urban areas with poor drainage. Dangerous lightning could pose a threat to outdoor activities, and there is a small chance of tornadoes forming. Hail over 1 inch in diameter could also cause damage to vehicles and structures. Residents in areas near the Chesapeake Bay may experience enhanced storm activity due to wind convergence.
