Discussion
A couple of shortwaves will rotate through the region later today and tonight raising the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms…some of the storms can be strong and produce heavy rainfall amounts. There should be plenty of cloud cover around as well today which should limit high temperatures this afternoon to the middle or upper 80’s in the DC metro region. Upper-level high pressure ridging to our southwest will take control for the second half of the week and it’ll remain somewhat unsettled. As such, it’ll turn hotter for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with afternoon high temperatures likely well up in the 90’s and there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms.
