According to the National Weather Service, wind gusts will peak this afternoon, especially in western Maryland and higher elevations. Baltimore could see gusts up to 47 mph, making travel risky for high-profile vehicles. Residents should secure loose outdoor objects and prepare for possible power disruptions.
