to 83. that's where we have the warning we are keeping an eye on. as we pull back, we'll show you the other cell that's falling in its place. we're looking at the chopper shots, joce. we get a warning for all the water, jesse. we do now have a flash flood warning out towards fredricks county. it's 6:15. okay, joce? >> so they've got serious conditions. checking out our facebook, somebody posted do you like they're monitoring the dispatch out in carroll county and responding. they're hearing calls of numerous large trees down, various roads in westminster and other areas out there. that came from a viewer that is listening to dispatch out by

reisterstown. this is a picture for you near 94 and ruth 70. we were showing you a moment ago of significant clouds up in the area. let's take a look at that. that definitely looks potentially swirling. people see that happening coming towards them and gives them a little bit of a freakout that there could be a potential tornado. that's out in carroll county where the storm has now basically the most dangerous element. >> joce, that's definitely a formable funnel cloud right there. we've been getting reports, photographic evidence that this storm at one time was producing a tornado, but we had got storm spotters in the north. that's definitely a funnel cloud. so at times, this storm was probably popping a tornado. that's probably going back and forth and jives with the latest information we got from the national weather service wire

and you mentioned the dispatch on our facebook friend. they're reporting a tremendous amount of trees down now in most of carroll county. it is a very dangerous situation. yes, these storms are moving out of carroll county. well, we still had major debris, wires down, and now add insult to injury is the flash flooding concerns to 6:15. so just a mess. couldn't have been a worse time. schools are trying to let out and the evening commute. >> go back to wjla, there was a lot of flooding in the d.c. area and i speculate we will get that too. there's an expanding water way in the d.c. area. this is not baltimore. this comes courtesy of the sister situation.

this driver is doing the smart and waiting it out. the safest thing to do in these situations as flooding may become more of a concern is to stay out of the roadway. even though it's easy, just drive through it because it doesn't look like a big deal. unfortunately, in the news business, we cover a lot of scenarios happen when people decide to make that choice. the water is rushing through this roadway in the d.c. area in montgomery county and i suspect many areas in carroll county probably look very similar to this, dealing with the aftermath of all of this water rushing through in the storms that come through in the last hour or so. we're continuing to stay on top of that and watching severe thunderstorms and flash flooding warnings coming in as well. you can find all of this, if you get access to our apps, on mobile, smartphone, wherever you are with you, text wmar to 46988. you'll get all the apps and

have access to all the information. not just for this storm because it's important right now that you have the information, but far from the only storm we'll see this summer. this is going to be a big problem as the weather gets hotter, we get more powerful storms. if you want your hands on that information, get your app and if you see pictures from the storm once it's safe for you to go outside, see what you've seen. we want to know what you're seeing wherever you are. it's become less significant from carroll county. the storm is coming in the direction of baltimore county and hartford county. we want to know what you're seeing. rain starts coming down. we want to know what's going on where you are as well. in sioux as a rule, sioux as a

rule, we heard it's coming back. it's just stagnant and causing problems for people there. so flash flood warning becoming more of an issue as the night moves on as we deal with the aftermath of the storm moving through, but there's still watches and warnings left in the area. mike, what can you tell us about the areas that have active warnings remaining? >> well, joce, the last of the warnings out, and this is good news for right now, last of the warning out is extreme northern carroll county. we're talking about right around pretty boy reservoir that was producing tremendous rotation. it's now just about to cross 83 and we put a line for you on to

middletown road, the southernmost extent of the storm to the maryland/pennsylvania border. we're just about to kiss this one good-bye to the north of us. the second storm that we're keeping an eye on as we mentioned on i-70, well, i just did a query on the we thinks inside the cell. well, it looks like it's starting to weaken some but we have rotation within the cell and dropped the tornado warning. we'll take a look at that and see the warning in howard and carroll county. we'll keep the county active. it could pass through. but the flash flooding concern, we showed you from the chopper shot, flash flood warnings until 6:15 and indicating that parts of green valley, mount airy, new market, tremendous flooding right now with a

rainfall rate for 3 to 5 inches per hour. at least a foot of standing water in to carroll county. the powerful radar, we'll show you the last of the storm, the last of the tornadic storm moving into carroll county and moving out of carroll county, rather, toward the pennsylvania border. there's another storm that we are going to keep an eye on, keep a close eye on that's developing just towards the south and city limits. if this holds together in the city limits, right now, we have a severe thunderstorm warning until 4:15. we'll watch that and see if baltimore city goes under a warning, but right now, we don't have a warning for the city limits. north and west of baltimore, we have an active warning ongoing from extreme northern carroll county to the pennsylvania

border. >> mike, it's one of those things you've been following as well with the storm moving through our area. you can see right there, a few minutes ago, the area where it was like 70 in frederick, the sun is back out. that's how quick it moves. it just depends on where you are. you're either getting a lot of rain, a lot of activity out there, you're getting scared or you're seeing the sunshine again. like here with these pictures of wjla. >> that's dangerous that we have the sun back out because we're not losing the instability. these storms move through and takes the atmosphere and the sun gets back out and cooks the atmosphere again. that's a dangerous situation. i want to go back to maryland. look at these pictures from wjla. thank you for this shot. you see these warnings down to

the south ongoing? we have a lot to get to because as we've been watching these storms that have been popping up, we have the sun back out. that's not good news because as these storms get back to an unstable environment, they're going to continue to develop. we still have the wind sheer in place and that could further exacerbate the situation and you can see still over in d.c. in salisbury. not only are we talking about the potential of storms turning store naan'd that haddic, but the flash flooding. we have a lot of action and i have a feeling we'll be talking about these storms right through 7:00 and unfortunately, this is part one. we have to go through another part tonight. >> so we have another round coming through our area almost

the same intensity or less? >> well, let's look at the radar shot. this is round one coming through. we showed you this all here. this is the second round we have to go through. this is a squall line that's developing. we lose the tornadic nature of these storms that's coming through. these stormles turn linear, so they'll be elongated, the trouble is, we'll be dealing with wind excess of 26 miles per hour. this is round two out towards oakland and this still has to push through. this is going to come through after abc2 news at 6:00. >> we were just looking too on the computer with the southeastern central county and maryland and in north western baltimore county and northern maryland, so that's one they think we probably don't need is the rain to come down on top of this? >> no, it's going to be a messy night and we sent out in the

direction of northwestern baltimore county toward harper county because we assume there will be trees down. somebody who is monitoring the dispatch out of carroll county was talking about a lot of trees down and water all over the place in the area of westminster and that area. once the imminent danger is over, like power lines and trees down, water on the roads, bge sent out an e-mail earlier this afternoon anticipating these storms put crews on stand by. they will be ready if powerlines were down and at this point, we have not been hearing any of our sources on social networking or assignment desk, any serious damage on the ground at this point or any potential tornadoes, but we're certainly hearing about dicey situations. >> i just a lot of tree limbs

down. when you see the flooding and people looking at it, it's gone back again or changed camera angle. but takes only 6 inches of water to float a car, anybody trying to cross that, they're putting themselves at risk to be carried off land. that shows how much rain fell in montgomery county. that looks at a stream that was probably just a ditch full of water and now it's full with muddy water because the rain came down so hard. our rain totals varied across the state and the area from this weather pattern, but it's one of the things that it just happens so we cannily. >> and the ground can't take that much water, so it's forced out at the roadways. it's those creeks, they're spread out along the countryside and they go in.

we encourage you to text wmar to 46988 to get your hands on our news app, weather app, everything that you need to know as we continue to look at new angles from wjla. stay informed if you're able to watch us, which is wonderful but if you end up in your basement or seek shelter, you still have information when these storms pass through you. you can get that on mobile on your smartphone, text wmar to 46988 and as we watch now, we see the problem areas. >> you can see the red areas there are the thunderstorms coming through the area. like if you're in the certain areas, that's the time there and that's the progress that the storms come to you. if you're near freedom, shoe berry, maybe seek shelter there. if you're trying to get home right now so that you can be ready when these things come through your slossberg re.

that's what we've been seeing around here. mike, you know better than i do, but the storm, the best thing to do is take cover when you can. >> better safe than sorry in this situation, but, you know, we've been watching these storms and almost textbook case scenario unfolding with winds twisting and leading up to this event, we knew this was going to be a situation. we talked about it for the last 48 hours and certainly, here it is. right now, again, we were watching these storms around 2:30 and 3:00. this was the first storm to move through west virginia. this is now finally crossing into the pennsylvania border and we do have tornado warnings, so if you take 83 going into pennsylvania, you have tornado warnings. this is going through pennsylvania. here's the storm we're watching along to 70 and the tornado warning still in effect, but this is up 4:15.

i can imagine they extend to 4:30. weather service will have to tornado tracked six mimes of potential tornado. let me throw that out there, seven miles east abdomen 13 miles northwest of koch keysville that was under the warning. we knew it was going to pass to the north and west. it's going to move right back over the reservoir and like i said earlier, really the middletown road, that still applies from the storm over northern baltimore county. again, while we see the flash flooding warnings, it's called training the storm. they're lined up. these will be

25 miles per hour. >> we have really slow-moving storms dumping a lot of rain and the flash flood danger is important to pay tension -- attention to right now in northeastern baltimore county, but those are the areas we need to hear from. >> we are hearing from more people. we hear from viewers on facebook, but starting to hear from some of you in the randles town area. the storm is starting to start in the randall town area, it's starting to cloud up here as well as we prepare for whatever is this way. you can see the shift where

randall county is done with the worst, but shifting into baltimore county. don't risk your life but we want to see at abc2news.com/facebook. wjla is looking at the storm from helicopter. it's ominous and scary out there. >> this is how quickly these storms have passed through right now. we're coming in the area and getting e-mails from the randall town area. traffic is slow, but you can see how wet the roads are. cars are heading through and you can see where just the clouds right there, i mean, if you look over to the right of the screen, you can see that little bit of mist.

with these storms changing and the way they're moving across the area, those folks heading west are going to run into a lot more rain. >> the weather will complicate. as the storm shifts, it will get even messier as we have the friday afternoon. check out abc2news.com. we'll show you the live traffic cameras and get you any updates we can and you can text wmar to 46988 to get all the information you need in your hands before you go anywhere. >> that's another thing to watch out too. depending which direction you

are going to, like hartford county. if you're working in downtown baltimore, you can see this and paying attention to the web site and one of the apps, the thing you have to watch out for is you may want to delay your trip home. i know everybody wants to get home after work, why would you want to drive through a ton of rain, hail, or any other circumstances? just wait a little bit. maybe an hour. you won't have to deal with a big back-up of traffic or dealing with the rain, but follow the app at abc2news.com or you can get a better understanding of what's going on with the weather. >> mike, you see the ominous weather. we expect that in the direction of baltimore as well? >> the short answer, yes. the whole system is coming our way. we have new warnings to bring to your attention. it's pg county.

it's to andarundel county. it's pg county at 4:12, a few minutes ago, doppler service indicated powerful radar indicating a thunderstorm is capable of producing a tornado. this is heading for wall heading waldorf. it's right along i-95, the potential for flash flooding. if this holds together and continues to intensify, which by all indications it will, it's going to move over the

southern section of town and right around brooklyn park and have to address the storm capable of producing a possible tornado. elk ridge, that's the southern part of the city. let's get on harbor, it's going to shoot up 95 heading for the southern city limits. we were showing you the radar. the storms of what's called pulsing up. showing a very ominous sky toward the south and these storms are rapidly intensifying. you notice huge thunder heads to the left hand. you can see the storms that are at times having a height of, look at that, that's an impressive outflow from the storm. these are 45,000 to 50,000 feet. when we see powering thunderstorms like that, we can

surely anticipate the potential of not only large hail, but coming from a loft to the surface and that will shoot out causing straight line wind damage. let's be prepared for the potential of wind and 60 miles per hour on some of the storms. there are several storms lined up from southwest to northeast. southern parts of chesapeake, but we've seen tremendous lightning. let's avoid the chesapeake at all costs. it's been pivoting out several hundred miles. dangerous situation, guys, these storms have to roll with a tornado warning, p.g. county and south of the limits. we'll keep an eye on your guys. >> we're getting stuff on

facebook page. what kind of time can we expect for some of the storms to roll through or what area can we really look out for? a lot of this seems to be north and east. what about folks in the south or east areas? are they going to get clobbered with this too or south and east because i saw in shrewsbury and that's one of the big questions. they don't see anything. it looks bad to the west but wondering if it's going to becoming. >> when for me? >> we mentioned that the sun is cooking back the atmosphere. i want to go back to the wider shot to radar system. i mentioned to you guys that this storm system, these cells

are developing. the eastern shore, southern fringes of baltimore county and these numerous cells are starting to move pretty quickly. it's the powerful storm set up. this is going to rock everybody towards the east and pinpointing that. towards 7:00 to 8:00. we're going to be here for a very long time, but again, the first round moving in from baltimore down towards the eastern shore from salisbury and motion city. this is going to move. you see pretty powerful storms developing over the area but see the potential of wind gusts in excess of 60 miles per hour from the second system sitting

over deep creek in washington county. >> so we have a lot more to go. this could go on through the entire evening. what about after midnight? are they going to be sticking too? it may die down but may get heavier stuff in the middle of the night. >> great question because we have to kind of now cast this line of storms that we're watching out towards the west. the storms on top of us right now are slow movers. they've been developing super cells and feeding off of this, all of this humidity with the storm development, but then the line which is associated with the cold front to kick everything off shore, that comes into play, again, between, i would say 6:00 right through 10:00 or 11:00 and have to shift our focus to severe weather from the eastern shore after 10:00. so you can see the line and

this is, again, we have to pay attention to this line because this is producing straight line wind damage. once we get to 6:00, our tornado threat will decrease significantly, but then we have to turn our attention to this line moving at 50 miles per hour to plow through here and that's going to cause winds to mix to the surface. it's for later this evening. >> and we're getting information now, mike, coming in to us from carroll county. school dismissed an hour to an hour and a half late because of the weather there. there's buses on the road there. if you're a parent, they did the right thing and kept them inside and safe, carroll county from facebook coming back online, able to watch tv in carroll county. they're now putting the buses

on the road and should be expecting your kids at the bus stop. do we have any active warnings in the area now? >> we're getting something from the weather service. it appears we have a brand new tornado warning -- let me run through this real quick. this just came off the wire at 4:22. they have issued a severe thunderstorm warning in northeastern extreme western baltimore county. at 4:20, doppler radar indicating they have been producing winds at 50 miles per hour. there's some rotation with the cell. we're showing a tornado warning until 5:00. we'll confirm that with the weather service. we will confirm that warning off the wires, but right now,

there's several numerous warnings. i want to go to maryland because this is the one cell that's showing suspicious rotation just towards the southeast of the city. want to take a look just to the southwest of elk bridge. this pulled up in the last 15 minutes and appears to be showing a rotation. let's go to the velocity scan. you noticed rotation. there's a radar couplet meaning some rotation, so we'll have to keep an eye on this. here's the warning. it's in northwestern baltimore county.
