Summary
Six Maryland counties — including Montgomery and Prince George's — are under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. as strong storms sweep west to east across the Washington region.
A severe thunderstorm watch covers the D.C. area until 9 p.m., while a flood watch remains in effect until 8 p.m. with very heavy rain raising the risk of urban and flash flooding.
A tornado warning for parts of Montgomery and Frederick counties has expired, but severe thunderstorm warnings continue to pop up as storms move through.
