times that we re expecting this tornado -- possible tornado. this i a radar indicated tornado to be moving northeast ward towards urbana. in the next cole of minutes re towards centerville at 6:28, new market arriving at 34. woodville at 6:41. we have a tornado warning in effect for frederick county, maryland. turning off the sweeping radar to see kplk who is in the path of this storm in southern frederick county reaching -- extending from urbana into par of carol county. this is a severe thunderstorm we're watching where, for those you just tuning in and live in southern maryland -- i'm ou sorry,ern frederick county, we do have a tornado warning in effect. here's a few things you c do right now. put as many walls between and s you the stormpossible. if you are headed down there and you don't have your phonee you're not a download our app right now, that's okay.

thunderstorm away, until 7:00 p.m., and maybe we can get to street level and start calling out doing a little bit of roll-call here. urbana, thank you. i apologize, folks. urbana and down towards i-20, 270, up towards -- say that one more time. heartfield's road, big wood's road. anyone in these areas should start to move towards space as we head a little hefah,norhi t iort tnk stays r here moving up. i think a little bit farther eastward. northeastward. what's up here? this is new market,ec co okay. that's right. bucky's town, balancinger creek, and that's where we're going to ansee you all wng to head towards your basement right now. this is the area of rotation we're watching. getting down to street. sugarloaf parkway, if you live along sugarloaf par sounds familiar, you want to head to the lowest level of your home as well.
