Maryland Weather: Heavy Rain Leads To Flooding In Baltimore Area; Multiple Roads Temporarily Closed
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Heavy rain in parts of Maryland led to flooding in parts of the Baltimore area Friday evening.
Between one and two inches of rain fell across a narrow band in a two-hour period. While the southern parts of Baltimore City and Baltimore County saw heavy rain, closer to the Beltway north of the city hardly any rain fell.
A number of streets in the city were closed due to flooding, including the 1800 block of McComas Street near Locust Point.
