| Storms have initiated over the District this afternoon and will continue into the evening hours. A few moderate to heavy showers have already impacted northern portions of the District with additional storms likely for most areas as storms have increased in coverage over the last 20-30 minutes. Initial storm motions were from the west to east around 10mph, however, stronger storms have resulted in several anchored storms which have produced at least 0.30 in around 10 minutes. The biggest threat will be this afternoon and early evening will be a quick 0.50-0.75” in 10-30 minutes. Storms will continue to impact the region over the next several hours with lingering showers possible into the late evening. Storms also contain some hail and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. Once the initial round of storms moves through the District, storms will dissipate in strength into the later evening with a few scattered showers possible. Skies will gradually clear overnight with temperatures dropping into the mid to upper 50s. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong stationary thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce up to 1.25” total in 30-60 minutes.
