BALTIMORE, MD—The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Baltimore area.

The watch will be in effect from 1:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 28, 2024.

Forecasters say the combination of moderate to locally heavy rainfall coupled with increased upstream snow melt into area watersheds will likely lead to flooding.

Six-hour rain totals could easily reach 1 inch in many spots. Expected storm totals range from 1.50 to 2.00 inches, particularly closer to I-95.

Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
