Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are affecting large portions of the Mid-Atlantic region, including parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. Heavy rainfall—on already saturated ground—is increasing the risk of urban flooding, while strong winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes add to the hazards. The National Weather Service has issued multiple warnings across the region, and officials urge the public to remain alert to changing conditions.
Flight delays and cancellations have been reported at major airports such as BWI, DCA, PHL, IAD, LGA, and CLT, with ground stops in effect. Road travel has also been disrupted by flooding and hazardous conditions. Power outages are likely in storm-affected areas. Travelers and residents should expect lingering disruption into July 11th and plan accordingly.
