Environmental groups say this has been the longest and most widespread pistachio tide in recent memory.

Nearly five months after floodwaters ravaged Westernport, a small, rural Allegany County town, the yearslong work of repairing and rebuilding paused, briefly, for a celebration.

Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay area could see some minor coastal flooding with the possibility of some moderate flooding in the bay area caused by the hurricanes.

Rain showers and thunderstorms are likely to continue today and into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Scattered thunderstorms Tuesday evening are bringing the threat of flash flooding and damaging winds across the region, with the warning that parts of Anne Arundel County could see up to half a foot of water during high tide.

Colorful leaves will be coming to Maryland, soon.

Outstanding, fall-like weather will continue in Maryland for Labor Day and through the middle of the week.

Wednesday is the first day of school at Westernport Elementary. On May 13, a flood forced the school to evacuate by boat and prompted Gov. Wes Moore to declare a state of emergency.

In Annapolis, some flooding was already causing road closures Saturday morning, according to the city’s Office of Emergency Management.

Weather officials placed Anne Arundel County under a coastal flood warning until 10 a.m. Sunday, suggesting 2-2.5 feet of flooding is possible. In Annapolis, sandbags are being provided as officials warn residents to take precautions.

With Hurricane Erin out to sea — churning in the Atlantic Ocean but not battering the coast — “this is a very exciting time for surfers,” said Tommy Vach, president of Ocean City Surf Club.

Though Hurricane Erin is not forecast to make landfall along the East Coast, the storm is bringing hazardous conditions to the Mid-Atlantic region and Maryland beaches.

Several beaches in and around Maryland are limiting access because of the winds and deadly rip currents that Hurricane Erin is generating.

Though not expected to make landfall in the U.S., Hurricane Erin does stand to impact rip currents and increase the likelihood of tidal flooding in some parts of Maryland, charging weather officials to take action.

A stronger and bigger Hurricane Erin pelted parts of the Caribbean and was forecast to create dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this wee

While Erin’s maximum winds diminished, the storm’s overall size grew.

Hurricane Erin exploded in strength to a Category 5 storm in the Caribbean on Saturday, rapidly powering up from a tropical storm in a single day, the National Hurricane Center said.

Erin strengthened into a hurricane on Friday as it approached the northeast Caribbean, prompting forecasters to warn of possible flooding and landslides.

Central Maryland was spared major flooding Thursday, with storms bringing moderate rainfall and minor high-water reports before moving south by evening.
