TODAY: PM WEATHER ALERT

Warm & humid; chance rain, PM storms
Highs: 78-83
Winds: Southwest 5-15, Gusts 25 mph
One more unseasonably warm day is on tap ahead of a strong cold front that will sweep through tonight. Highs will climb to either side of 80 degrees with increasing humidity and southerly breezes. There’s a chance for a passing morning shower, so have the umbrella at the ready and track the wet weather on the First Alert Weather app. Storm chances increase this afternoon with the risk of severe weather. A widespread, severe weather outbreak is not expected across the DMV, but the environment will support the development of isolated severe storms that could contain damaging wind gusts and/or an isolated, weak tornado. The Storm Prediction Center has the entire viewing area in the Level 2 out of 5 risk category for severe storms. Make sure to have a way to get weather alerts. Outside of any wet weather, it will remain warm and humid this evening.
