OUR TEAMS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC & SOUTHEAST

11:25 AM Saturday 4/16/11

A destructive and deadly storm system is continuing to march eastward across the Eastern U.S. today. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop and track eastward over the Mid Atlantic this afternoon, with the potential for storms to become severe. Timing for these storms will be from 3PM-9PM. We expect this threat to be mainly south of Baltimore and Frederick MD, with a more widespread outbreak possible for southern Virginia and eastern North Carolina. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will likely be the main threats with severe storms. Small hail will also be possible. Stay tuned for any watches or warnings that may be issued later.
