Cool Down with a Stormy Twist | Annapolis News

Maryland’s brutal heatwave is finally breaking — temperatures are set to plunge from the 90s into the 70s and 80s — but relief comes with a stormy twist. Thunderstorms with 65-mph winds and lightning are expected this afternoon and will persist through Monday, bringing scattered rain and flash flood risks. The worst of it hits Sunday afternoon, after a record-breaking 104°F in Baltimore. Thousands remain without power, especially in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, and Harford counties, with some outages lasting until late Tuesday. Light Rail to the airport is suspended due to downed lines. Emergency crews responded to water-trapped vehicles, a four-alarm lightning-sparked warehouse fire, and multiple boat incidents. While the storms offer much-needed respite from the heat, they’ve unleashed new chaos — and crews are racing to restore power and prepare for the week ahead.
