Don’t ignore thunderstorm warnings: see to your home’s stability

Maryland has a wide array of weather patterns due to its geographical location. Therefore, you get to experience different temperatures and situations within the same week. For instance, though it’s almost summer, there are thunderstorm warnings circulating in the area:

The main threat from the watch is the possibility of large hail and damaging winds.

The Maryland weather forecast is calling for a 70 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon, with some severe storms. Tonight, expect thunderstorms mainly before 9 p.m.

Look for a 70 percent change of rain again on Wednesday, gradually decreasing to a 30 percent chance of showers on Thursday. But the gloomy skies should give way to a beautiful weekend with sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s across the region.

To prepare against such cases, you should get emergency kits ready in case particularly severe storms arrive (remember Hurricane Sandy?). Moreover, your siding, windows, and roofing in Rockville MD should be sturdy enough so they won’t be easily damaged, protecting you from lesser storms or giving you more time to prepare and evacuate in cases of violent tornados or hurricanes.
