EF0 tornado briefly touches down in Annapolis
On Friday, the National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed that the waterspout passed briefly as an EF0 tornado over the Severn Sailing Association marina.
According to the NWS, a witness watched as the waterspout moved ashore and over the marina, blowing over multiple trailered and small boats in the parking area.
Videos from social media captured near the Route 450 bridge showed the tornado spinning from the shoreline to the mouth of the river, moving west to east.
It then disappeared before reaching land on the opposite side of the river.
No additional damage was reported.
A Flash Flood Watch was in effect for most of the Baltimore region, including Howard County, until early Friday morning.
Storms brought severe damage to multiple communities.
In Mt. Airy, a 13-year-old boy drowned after being swept into an outdoor drainage pipe.
Meanwhile, in Harford County, two people were rescued from floodwaters at the Pulaski Highway and Baltimore County line.
"Numerous people have been rescued from flood waters as a result. Fortunately, there have been no injuries," the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company said. "Do not attempt to drive or cross flooded roads or sidewalks. Turn around, don't drown."
Additionally, an ambulance and at least one vehicle crashed in the Joppa area and were leaning on the side of the road on Mountain Road and Greenspring Avenue.

Comfortable, fall-like weekend expected across Maryland
Happy Saturday, Maryland! After a dreary and cooler (but MUCH more comfortable) Friday, more sunshine is expected this weekend. Saturday and Sunday both bring highs in the 70s and 80s after a cool start in the 50s and 60s this morning. The air feels crisp this weekend with lower humidity levels. There will be some moisture in the air but it won't feel tropical - "refreshing" and "delightful" are better words to describe the weekend feel. Sunshine and clouds mix this weekend but we are not expecting rainfall. Tee times and brunches will have near weather perfection. Temperatures will try to creep back up early in the week but will still fall short - cooler than normal temperatures continue Monday and for most of the week ahead. Showers may return to the forecast midweek. The rain chance, however, is low. We're not looking at a repeat of the late week storms we just saw. We are into a much quieter weather pattern in the days ahead - enjoy!

Hurricane Gil continues to churn far out in the eastern Pacific
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Gil was continuing to churn in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Saturday but is not expected to threaten land and is likely to decrease in strength rapidly over the weekend, forecasters said. The Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storm was about 1,160 miles (1,865 kilometers) west-southwest of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Gil had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and was moving west-northwest at 20 mph (31 kph). No coastal watches or warnings were in effect. 'Weakening is forecast to begin Saturday, and Gil is likely to become post-tropical as early as Sunday,' the NHC said. It is a busy period for storms in the eastern Pacific. Another named storm, Iona, which also was once a hurricane, was downgraded from a tropical storm to a tropical depression as it moved far to the west of Hawaii. It, too, was not threatening land. Other storms could develop in the coming days in the eastern Pacific, forecasters said.
