we have seen some amazing things happening since about 3:00 this afternoon when we saw potential thunderstorm activity. it's impacting carroll county, baltimore county, anne arundel county. finksburg with tree limbs down and other situations happening out to the west. it's been two cells that we have

been look at so far this afternoon. the first one passed through doing a lot of damage in the carroll county area. a lot of water came in strong storm that brought quote a bit of rain, decent amount of hail and strong winds. we want to go over to our meteorologist. mike, tell us where things stand. >> i want to go over to harbor cam. we'll go to radar in a second. what we're looking at on harbor cam what we're seeing is a stud cloud. we see a twisting of the wind. we're seeing the clouds lower a bit. that's a stud cloud. if we see there touch the surface, that's a tornado. within the system, south of the inner harbor toward brooklyn

park, that's where we see the best shot of a possible tornado. this really divides it up nicely. there's the latest sweep. you can see right along 95 over the southern parts of the city limits going out toward rosedale. that stud cloud on harbor cam that will stay south of the city limits. go north over towson along york road and along 83, this is where we're going to see the flash flooding and the potential for some large hail. maryland's most powerful showing hail ranging between ping pong to golf ball sized hail. let has put a storm track on this and start you on the zone with the potential of a tornado, rosedale around 5:41. essex and cross into the chesapeake around 5:49. so, again, this is the area that

has potential tornado. we've seen a lot of potential. it's showing a broad area of rotation. we're not seeing that tight cup let where we have the coloring, red and green close together. that's an indication of the strong rotation. this is more broad. it's going to be bad news because it's bringing a good amount of rain. a tornado warning for all of baltimore, baltimore city and even the brooklyn park section of town. the national weather service feels like it's dying some but still needs to be monitored, still very gusty winds. we have a active work until

5:15. there are additional storms forming to the south of us. it has to roll toward the north. everybody still fair game to see the potential tornado for all of the city limits back down to the southern chesapeake as they roll to the north and east. this is the second part set up from washington county through west have va -- west virginia. as this moves through, it will move through quickly, but going to exacerbate much of carroll county out to all of baltimore county. we stand to see more significant lightning and significant hail. we have to traffic part two of the system that's rolling in. that will be here between 7:00 and 8:00. the deal right now. we have multiple thunderstorms that are fair game for testing tornadic levels and back out to

the west. this is the second part of the line. so joce a two-part system. we don't have active tornado warnings but we are going to cep an eye on that. out to the west, we got to see what this does. the atmosphere earlier was allowed to cook some more, so a lot of instability. back to you. >> we're monitoring the severe storms. we want to get to other breaking news. there has been a crash on interstate 95 northbound. it is a truck fire in harford county that has closed i-95 northbound. it's opening up. traffic is getting by. this is the camera facing south, the southbound lanes pretty clogged as people watch this truck fear. now traffic is beginning to get bay on the northbound side of 95. this is near the exit for maryland 1512 in the -- 152 in the fallston area, so
