Two EF-1 Tornadoes Roared Through Anne Arundel During Tuesday Storms

Two EF-1 tornadoes touched down in Anne Arundel County during Tuesday’s storms in the D.C. region: a 100 mph tornado near Lake Shore that stayed on the ground about two minutes and stretched roughly three-quarters of a mile, and a second tornado on Lake Drive in Arnold for about a minute; two more tornadoes were detected on the Eastern Shore. The storms caused widespread damage, including a collapsed gas-station canopy in Northwest D.C., downed trees and power lines, hail, and minor flooding in parts of Montgomery County, Northwest D.C., and areas around Fredericksburg and Harpers Ferry. Officials credited advance warnings for preventing casualties as damage assessments continue.

Possible Tropical Storm Could Drench SC Midlands This Weekend

A tropical storm may form along the U.S. coast in coming days, with a less than 40% chance near the Gulf Coast; AccuWeather and the National Weather Service warn the Midlands could see thunderstorms, strong winds, and possible flash flooding this weekend (July 18–21). Heavy rain may provide drought relief, but heat indices could approach 105°F, and forecasts remain uncertain with updates expected as conditions evolve.

Chicago Braces for Two Rounds of Severe Storms as Wet Spring Persists

Two rounds of potentially severe thunderstorms are forecast for Chicago on Monday—first from about 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a second, possibly more severe from 4 to 10 p.m.—with large hail and damaging winds up to 70 mph and additional rain that could worsen flooding in a record-wet spring (about 10 inches through April 17). The storm track depends on a warm front, so the northward extent of severe weather remains uncertain; residents near the Rock, Fox, and Des Plaines rivers should monitor forecasts and prepare for possible flooding, while the Chicago River is not listed as flood-prone in this alert.

Southwest heat wave pushes US March record to 110F in Arizona

A blistering late-winter heatwave pushed the US Southwest to March records, including Martinez Lake, Arizona at 110F—the hottest March temperature in US history. The previous 108F record, set in Texas in 1954, was tied, with other California towns hitting 108F as well. Phoenix reached 105F, and the heat is expected to persist with many spots hitting 100+F; scientists say global warming has made such heatwaves four times more likely in the past decade.

Charlotte Braces for Possible Heavy Snow This Weekend, NWS Warns

Forecasters say accumulating snow is likely Friday night through Saturday night for the Charlotte area, with a 70% chance Friday evening rising to 90% by Saturday morning and about 70% again Saturday night; Mecklenburg and surrounding counties could see around two inches, with a real chance of more than four inches in some spots, depending on the storm track.
