Discussion
After an unseasonably cool day on Thursday, it’ll turn slightly warmer today, but still below-normal for this time of year. The atmosphere will remain quite unstable with the chance of showers and thunderstorms and this unsettled pattern is likely to last well into next week. Some of the rain today in the DC metro region can be heavy at times and some of the storms can be strong. Temperatures should peak in the mid-to-upper 70’s this afternoon and then reach 80+ degrees this weekend and early next week. A cool front will enter the picture later Monday enhancing the chance for strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity in the Mid-Atlantic region.
