A complex low pressure system pushed a warm front through the Mid Atlantic region followed by a cold front. This lead to widespread thunderstorms that produced severe weather. In Maryland, the severe weather reported was large hail and some flash flooding. In Caroline County near Denton, golfball-size hail fell for nearly 10 minutes and covered the ground. In Talbot County near Royal Oak and Newcomb, golfball-size hail piled up to a depth of 4 to 5 inches deep. In Frederick County, flash floods washed out roads between Brunswick and Jefferson. Lightning struck a business in Edgewater of Anne Arundel County, causing $100,000 damage.
What these are
- Hail
- Hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, or smaller hail that caused damage, filed with the largest stone measured.
After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
