- | Message 1's have been extended until 4:00 AM as additional thunderstorms lurk N of the District and may impact areas of the District into the pre-dawn hours. These weak to moderate thunderstorms may not translate southward into the District and weaken on approach but the threat remains. |
- | The strength of the storms should they survive into the District will likely be more weak to moderate but even moderate thunderstorms will have the potential to produce brief heavy rainfall as the atmosphere is loaded with moisture. The threat for heavy rainfall is lower than earlier this evening but cannot be ruled out. |
- | Showers and thunderstorms will move from N to S to NW to SE at around 20mph. Storm motions have increased from earlier this evening and faster storm motions will help to limit point rainfall amounts from a single storm keeping any heavy rainfall brief. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm will be capable of producing rainfall rates of 0.5-1.5" in 10-30 minutes.
