Thursday April 6 – Today is the day the strong spring storm reached the Mid Atlantic. There will be showers and thunderstorms the morning into the afternoon. The Low Pressure will be redeveloping overhead, with will help the surface winds come from the dangerous Southeast direction enhancing the severe storm threat in central Maryland It will also provide more spin aloft to increase the local risk for supercell that can produce e damaging hail and isolated tornadoes. The most active time wil be between 10 AM  and 3 PM. Here is a lot at the maps that help tell the story.

Tornadoes, large hail over quarter size, and winds over 58 mph. Note the percentages are the odds that an individual storm can turn severe with these conditions. Ex: Tornado Threat of 5% means that each storm has a 5% chance of a funnel cloud forming. That means most storms will NOT do that, but still a high risk for our region and worth paying attention to.
