The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has placed D.C. and Baltimore under a tornado watch until 10 p.m. Monday.
A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for a tornado, but it is less severe than a tornado warning, Capital Weather Gang reported. Strong winds and hail could also hit the area.
Note: A tornado watch means ingredients could come together for a tornado to form. Stay alert. Not same as warning which means TAKE ACTION.
