MOUNT AIRY, Md. (AP) — A 13-year-old boy died after he was trapped in a storm drain in Maryland during heavy rainfall and flooding on the East Coast that also led to rescues from cars that were submerged in floodwaters, officials said.

Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms are likely this afternoon with risk of damaging winds and flash flooding.

As heat and humidity increases in Maryland, so has flash flooding. The state has had at least 51 flash flood warnings so far this year, its most since 2020
