Severe Thunderstorm And Flash Flood Watches For Parts Of Maryland

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Storms are on their way and some areas of Maryland are under severe thunderstorm and flash flood watches Friday.

Meteorologist Tim Williams said a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 10 p.m.

A flash flood watch is in effect until 11 p.m. for parts of Baltimore City, Carroll, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Charles, Howard, Harford, Prince George's counties. Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's Talbot and Caroline counties are also under a similar watch.

Maryland received heavy rains for most of the week. Thursday was the only sunny day and it still rained overnight.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to move into the area, with heavy rainfall rates likely. Given saturated soil from this week's excessive rainfall, any additional heavy rain or repetitive thunderstorms may result in rapid rises of water in streams and low lying areas.
