An additional round of widely scattered rain showers and isolated weak thunderstorms has developed and will be passing through the District late this evening. Showers are fast moving, and heavy rainfall is not expected to occur, but a few areas may experience a brief burst of moderate rain under weak thunderstorms, rainfall amounts will generally remain under 0.2” with isolated higher amounts possible. Just enough rain to produce some minor runoff in the gutters for most regions. The back edge of the showers are 2-3 hours out and then completely dry conditions are expected for the remainder of the evening and overnight period. If a stronger thunderstorm is able to develop a brief burst of heavy rainfall may occur but the chances are minimal and will be very isolated.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers will produce a trace to 0.1" of precipitation. Weak thunderstorms may result in rainfall rates of 0.1-0.3" of rain in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Although unlikely if a stronger thunderstorm is able to develop rainfall rates of 0.3-0.8" of rain possible in 10-30 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are expected again on Thursday some of which may produce brief heavy rainfall, hail and gusty winds in the afternoon and evening.
