| Another active weather day is expected across the District today. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the 80s with dewpoints in the low to mid 50s and precipitable water (PWAT) values around 1.20”. Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop by the early afternoon over complex terrain, becoming scattered to widespread as outflows propagate convection onto the plains. Storm motions will be from southwest to northeast around 15-20 mph. Storms will be capable of producing efficient, moderate to heavy rainfall. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow-moving stronger thunderstorm may be capable of producing 2.00” or more in 30 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: On Wednesday, expect highs in the 80s and another round of afternoon thunderstorms. Although atmospheric moisture will begin decreasing, there will still be enough moisture for scattered storms broadly across the District. Moisture continues decreasing on Thursday, supporting isolated showers and storms capable of producing light rain and gusty winds.
