Flash Flood Warning Issued For Baltimore City, County

A flash flood warning is in effect for parts of Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

Due to the threat of rapidly rising water, the National Weather Service issued the warning after 10 p.m. for these areas: Arbutus, Baltimore, Dundalk, Catonsville, Essex, Middle River, Lansdowne and Woodlawn.

The flash flood warning remains in effect until 1 a.m. Tuesday, officials say.

The flash flood warning was issued after local law enforcement reported heavy rain in the warned areas at 10:05 p.m.

Up to 1 inch of rain had fallen at that point, and flash flooding was expected.

Flash flooding is a life-threatening situation that happens when heavy rain causes a rapid rise in water level.

Drivers should not proceed if they see a road is flooded.

A water rescue was reported in the Edgemere area. Crews said they rescued two people from a boat that was hit during the storm in the 9100 block of North Point Road.
