Severe Storms Cause Damage in Maryland, Air Quality Improves
Severe storms swept through Maryland on July 17, causing significant wind damage and flooding in areas such as Frederick County and Anne Arundel County, including Pasadena. The storms brought heavy rain, lightning, and straight-line winds, with some reports suggesting possible tornado activity. Air quality in Baltimore, which had been at its worst earlier, improved to the 'GOOD' range following the storms. The Gulf Coast is also being monitored for potential tropical storm development, with a 60% chance of formation this week.
