-	Thunderstorms have developed through the day in and around the District with the stronger storms remaining over the foothills and areas N and S of the District up to this point. Now that sunset is approaching the threat for heavy rains will slowly decrease as temperatures cool.
-	Scattered thunderstorms with rainfall rates commonly in the 0.1-0.3" range in 15-45 minutes with higher totals under stronger storm cells of 0.3-0.8"/hr. Rain from storms will still produce some minor runoff on roadways but should not be excessive. Some small hail is also possible from stronger thunder storm cells.
-	Thunderstorm activity is expected to slowly diminish through 10-11 PM. Additional showers and weak thunderstorms will remain possible into the early morning hours on Thursday.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical weak to moderate thunderstorms will produce rainfall amounts of 0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms will be capable of producing rainfall of 0.3-0.7" in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: An anchored strong thunderstorm stalls, resulting in heavy rainfall of up to 1.8" in 45-90 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: Thunderstorm activity is expected to be more isolated on Thursday but if a strong storm develops slow storm motions will continue the threat for heavy rainfall in isolated locations.
