Foot's Forecast, Baltimore, MD (2025)

07/17/2025

10:23 PM 7/16 - A FLASH FLOOD WARNING has been issued for portions of Harford County!

So far, between 1 ½” and 3 ½” of rain have fallen across some areas. Ongoing rainfall rates for storms entering the area is estimated to be between 1” and 2” per half-hour. This is expected to lead to an additional 1” to 2” of rainfall.

As a result, excessive amounts of runoff are anticipated to enter into local streams, creeks, rivers, and other waterways, as well as into poor drainage areas, leading to rapid rises in water levels.

This has prompted the issuance of a FLASH FLOOD WARNING for eastern Harford County until 1:15 AM.

Some towns and cities within this alert include, but are not limited to, Aberdeen, Bel Air South, Edgewood, Havre de Grace, and Perryman.

Please remember not to drive through a flooded roadway, as water heights can be extremely deceiving, especially in the case of rushing water.

If you see water levels rapidly increasing along a nearby waterway, seek higher ground immediately.

3:03 PM 7/16 - This forecast may feel like déjà vu, but I promise it is not copy and pasted. We are expecting very similar weather when compared to the system that moved through the area on Monday. A line of relatively strong thunderstorms and torrential downpours is expected to traverse the area this evening. Within this line, rainfall rates between 1” and 3” per hour are expected. As a result of the slow-moving nature of the system, general rainfall totals between 1” and 3” are expected, although a few isolated locations could near or even surpass the 4” mark.

This amount of rainfall will lead to excessive amounts of runoff, that will enter into streams, creeks, rivers, and other waterways, as well as low-lying and poor drainage areas. Rapid rises in water levels are once again possible, and have resulted in the issuance of FLOOD WATCHES across the entire forecast area. For most of the forecast area, these are scheduled to go into effect at 5:00 PM, and remain in effect until 12:00 AM. In Washington County, the alert is already in effect.

At this time, the Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service has the entire forecast area posted under a slight risk (Level: 2/4) of flash flooding. This results in a 15% to 40% chance that rainfall totals will exceed flash flood guidance within 25 miles of any given location within the forecast area.

In addition to the flash flood threat, the storms this evening will also pose a minor severe weather threat. At this time, the Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service has the entire forecast area posted under a marginal risk of severe weather (Level: 1/5). This is a result of thunderstorms forecasted to be potentially capable of producing wind gusts in excess of 60 MPH. Although a few severe cells may pop up and warrant Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, the issuance of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch does not look to be necessary at this time.

Looking ahead, we are going to be looking at a continuation of the pattern. The Weather Prediction Center currently has the entire forecast area under a marginal threat (Level: 1/4) for flash flooding across four of the next five days (including this evening). In addition, the Storm Prediction Center also has the forecast area under a marginal risk (Level: 1/5) of severe weather tomorrow.
