Baltimore, Md - June 6, 2024 - Four confirmed tornadoes touched down throughout Maryland during Wednesday's storm.

A viewer in the Box Hill neighborhood in Abingdon sent us a few photos of major flooding there.

BGE reported Thursday morning that 1,200 customers remain without power in their coverage zone, mostly in Baltimore County.
Here's what our own meteorologist Stevie Daniels says we can expect today.
"We're are not out of the woods just yet regarding strong storm potential. The window for severe storms will be around 1 PM - 7 PM. The tornado threat is low but not zero. Areas along the beltway and SE will be under a Marginal Risk as damaging winds will be the main concerns. Because of the tropical airmass in place, I wouldn't be surprised if this was upgraded. A Severe T-storm Watch is possible."
