Discussion

A cool front will slowly work its way through the region today and its proximity can produce afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. In fact, some of the PM thunderstorms can be on the strong-to-severe side; especially, in the southern half of the DC metro region with damaging wind gusts and hail on the table. A series of frontal systems and low pressure areas will impact the region during the second half of the week with the threat of showers from time-to-time.
