“Showers continue ... with a marginal severe storm threat this afternoon along & east of I-95. Highest impacts between 1-7pm w/ wind & hail as the main threats. Rainfall will be less than 0.50" for most areas. Locally heavier rain over northeast MD,” National Weather Service office in Baltimore-Washington said in a Monday statement.
A significant severe weather outbreak is unlikely, but thunderstorms could be strong enough to disrupt travel and outdoor activities from the Gulf Coast through New Jersey, Accuweather.com said. Damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning will be the main threats, but hail and isolated tornadoes could occur where the strongest storms develop.
