| Message 1’s will continue valid until 10pm as the threat of heavy rain remains into this evening. An explosive round of thunderstorms impacted parts of the District this afternoon and have since moved N/NE and out of the District. These storms contained lots of hail, rather than heavy rainfall with very gusty winds resulting in a few severe thunderstorms. A couple of gust fronts continue to initiate storms relatively close to the eastern edge of the District and these storms could trend into the District into the later evening. As we move closer to nightfall, the chances for explosive development leading to hail will diminish, however, the chance for moderate to heavy rainfall will likely persist into the evening. The best chance for additional storms will be from now through 10pm with lingering showers possible through midnight. Storm motions continue to be from south to north, between 5-10mph, with some erratic storm movement off gust fronts possible through the rest of the evening. Skies will gradually clear after midnight with overnight lows dropping to into the low 50’s. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may result in up to 1.25” of rain
in 45-75 minutes.
