SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

November 16, 2006

A low pressure system will move through the Central Maryland area today. The system will bring 1 to 1 ¾ inches of rain to the Carroll County area.

These rains could result in isolated flooding of streams and low lying areas.

The system contains winds aloft in the 50 – 70 mile per hour range. As the system moves through the area, the possibility of a thunderstorm or two exists.

During the storms, the high winds aloft will be pushed to ground level and wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour are possible. In the absence of a thunderstorm, winds throughout the day should remain in the 10 – 20 mile per hour range with occasional gusts to 30 mph.

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for our area until 6 PM this evening.

There is a cold front moving west to east that is pushing the low pressure system along at a fast pace. The low pressure system is expected to be out of the Central Maryland area and on the Eastern Shore by 10:00 PM tonight.
