Parts of the D.C. area were coated in hail -- some the size of ping-pong balls -- after a storm system moved through the region Saturday afternoon.
Storm Team4 received multiple reports of hail in the Waldorf, Maryland, area and a tornado warning was in effect for Waldorf and surrounding parts of Maryland from about 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Trees were uprooted and the storms caused damage to homes and apartment buildings in Charles County, authorities said, but there was no significant structural damage.
There was no confirmation that a tornado touched down, said Storm Team4 Meteorologist Amelia Draper.
Severe thunderstorm warnings and watches were in effect for much of our region, but all advisories expired about 5:30 p.m.
After the front passes, temperatures will drop into the 30s Saturday night, with some places getting into the upper 20s, and only warm up to near 50 degrees on Sunday.
