WASHINGTON — Parts of Maryland are on watch for possible flash flooding Monday night, after severe storms complicated the evening commute.
Thunderstorm warnings and flash flood watches are in effect for big swaths of the area. And rain, heavy at times, is likely to deliver a wet slap to commuters through the evening.
A flash flood watch has been issued for the following areas until 10 p.m.:
>Maryland
- Baltimore County
- Baltimore City County
- Carroll County
Other parts of Maryland, Virginia and the District were also under the watch until 8 p.m., when the National Weather Service cancelled the watch after storms officially passed in those areas.
Slow moving showers and thunderstorms this evening will be capable of producing intense rainfall rates that could lead to flash flooding.
A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.
