Happy Mother's Day!!
Yesterday's storms were a bit more scattered and localized, but strong nonetheless. Below are some of the official storm reports from the local NWS. Harford Co received the brunt of the storm with a confirmed micro-burst resulting in property damage, and a trained weather spotter noted a funnel cloud (it's not classified a tornado until the funnel makes contact with the ground) in Baltimore City. PG, Montgomery and AA counties all were under severe thunderstorm warnings at times yesterday.
The weather today will be calmer, although cooler than yesterday with temps well below normal for this time of the year. Actually, that will be the trend for most of this coming week.
