Wider weather episode

Abnormally moist atmosphere across the mid-Atlantic allowed showers and thunderstorms to produce exceptional rainfall rates across portions of Maryland as the remnants of Tropical Depression Lee interacted with a nearly stationary boundary near the Mason-Dixon line. Major flooding and flash flooding occurred in numerous areas. The highest rainfall and worst flooding happened in a band from Charles County northeastward into Baltimore County. The highest measured rainfall report during this period was 10.70 inches in Anne Arundel County.
