county, we could get morning storms and watch at least how this model indicates what's happening. there's a circulation here over central maryland and ahead of the prefrontal boundary and watch how it drives the rain back on down through maryland and so all of us get a shot of locally heavy rain but because of all the moisture be careful what you wish for. some storms what history of producing a quick 1 to 2 inch of rain as they stick over the same area. you could get more than that and that's too much for the drainage system that. could be a possibility with slow moving heavy rains. today, another shot of storms coming through during the evening. and it looks like we may have the front kick off cloud and isolated storms on tuesday even. and today, some of the storms will be potential flooding in some areas. 92 degrees the two degree guarantee. we will drop into the upper 60s to near 70 as drier winds build in and we are looking for tomorrow, still hot and still an isolated storm
