Tuesday was mostly sunny with a high near 92 degrees prior to the arrival of the storms.
First Alert meteorologist Meg McNamara predicted earlier in the day that the heaviest storm action would likely occur around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m.
These storms are expected to bring some isolated flooding and gusty winds.
Charles County was placed under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 5:30 p.m.
After that warning expired, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worchester counties were under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 8:45 p.m. That warning expired too.

Morning temps are in the mid 70s and we're headed for the low 90s this afternoon.
The window for storms starts around 2 or 3pm but I do think the heaviest action holds off until 5 or 6.#WJZ #MDWX #Baltimore pic.twitter.com/yimYbQoKSy
