News / Severe Weather
More than 60 million at risk of violent thunderstorms in mid-Atlantic, Northeast
By Mary Gilbert, AccuWeather meteorologist
Published May 15, 2022 10:58 AM EDT | Updated May 17, 2022 9:39 PM EDT
After days of warm, humid air, the atmosphere is primed to produce dangerous severe thunderstorms early this week across portions of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, AccuWeather forecasters say.
Storms began Monday, as massive hail reports on Monday evening were found in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, with reports of hail 3 inches in diameter. Other large hail reports were found in Dares Beach, Maryland and Huntingtown, Maryland, with reports of 1.75-inch hail Monday.

Following the weather on Monday, Tuesday will strike a different chord entirely for much of the Northeast and portions of the mid-Atlantic.
After the cold front exits much of the area on Tuesday, cooler, less humid air and breezy conditions will filter across the Northeast in its wake.
Temperatures on Tuesday tumbled slightly in places like Binghamton, New York (high of 60 F), and Burlington, Vermont (high of 63 F).
From Tuesday and continuing through the midweek, many locations across the northeastern U.S. will experience high temperatures climbing to near average or below-average levels with significantly less humidity.
This easing of temperatures and humidity will certainly make conditions feel much more like spring again for a few days, rather than an early arrival of summer.
AccuWeather forecasters caution that this round of more comfortable weather may not be around to stay for very long as another pattern change is on the horizon. Late this week, a shift in the jet stream could bring a large upswing in temperatures back to the region once again.
