Saturday brings a mix of clouds and sunshine, with most of the D.C. region staying dry. Any afternoon or evening thunderstorm activity should remain well west and southwest of the D.C. metropolitan area. Clouds increase Saturday night, rising the chances of late showers.

An approaching front will spark scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms Sunday, some of which could become severe. Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern, but torrential downpours, localized flash flooding and an isolated tornado are also possible. The D.C. region is under a Level 1 of 5 marginal severe weather risk and a Level 2 of 4 slight flood risk.

Showers and thunderstorms remain possible Monday as a cold front moves through the D.C. region. A few stronger storms could linger before conditions improve Monday night.

Drier, more comfortable air arrives Tuesday with more sunshine and little to no chance for rain.
