Discussion
Today will be another hot and humid one in the Mid-Atlantic region, but unlike recent days, there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms. The chance of showers and thunderstorms in the DC metro region will increase later this afternoon and then continue through the nighttime hours as a cool front approaches the area. This front stalls out nearby on Friday and the result will be a continuing threat of showers and thunderstorms from tomorrow through the upcoming weekend. Any rain that falls in this developing unsettled pattern can be heavy at times and any thunderstorm can be severe. In terms of temperatures, they’ll peak once again today up in the 90’s, but then gradually scale down during the next few days.
