TODAY: WEATHER ALERT
Partly sunny, very hot; tracking PM storm chances
Highs: 93-98
Winds: South 10-15 mph
Another hot and humid day is expected with highs reaching the middle 90s and heat index values once again climbing into the upper 90s and lower 100s. Official heat alerts are likely to be posted by the National Weather Service. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) continues a level 2 of 5 ‘slight’ risk for severe thunderstorms across much of the region Friday afternoon and evening. Damaging winds remain the primary threat, although isolated large hail is also possible. A cold front approaching from the northwest should lead to more numerous thunderstorms compared to Thursday. The exact timing remains somewhat uncertain, but the greatest risk currently favors the late afternoon and evening hours. High temperatures will likely challenge daily records at Reagan National and Dulles. Delmarva Beaches Friday: Rehoboth, Dewey, Bethany and Ocean City will be hot and increasingly humid with highs in the middle 80s to near 90. A southwest breeze will develop during the afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms are possible late day and into the evening, some potentially strong.
