  • Flood watch until 11 pm * 5:10 p.m. — Severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings for parts of the region, eastern Montgomery and western and northern Prince George’s counties The storms moved quickly in the last hour with a band of torrential rain and strong winds between Northeast Washington and Laurel, including Landover, Greenbelt and Beltsville. While isolated very strong wind gusts are possible, lightning and heavy rainfall are the main risk in this area of ​​the storm. Some areas in this zone could see up to 3 inches of rain. Storm activity is slowly drifting north-northeast. Some areas may see showers for about an hour before the rain clears. Initial forecast from 16:30 Temperatures climbed into the 90s this afternoon and were trending up. The upper 80s and low 90s, along with the sweet humidity, is enough in most places for plenty of showers and thunderstorms, continuing into the evening. The weekend won’t be a washout, but we’ll have a chance for showers and thunderstorms both days. It is possible that our heat wave will extend for a few more days. DC braces for second night of storms after deadly lightning strike Until tonight: Scattered showers and thunderstorms remain possible through the evening, likely ending near or after sunset. Any of these storms can drop up to several inches of rain in a short period of time, causing localized flooding. There is also a risk of damaging winds, especially in bursts from collapsing storms. Once the storm threat is over, it’s partly cloudy overnight – maybe patchy fog in the usual spots near bodies of water and more. Winds will be light from a southerly direction as the temperature drops into the 70s. Watch this current weather in the Washington Post. Tomorrow (Saturday): Partly to mostly sunny skies in the morning becoming cloudier as time goes on. There could be a few showers or thunderstorms late in the day, but probably much less than today. Highs are very near 90. Humidity remains high, with dew points near or above 70, making it more like 95 to 100 in the afternoon. Sunday: Skies are partly sunny. A few afternoon showers and thunderstorms are possible. They could stay till night. Afternoon temperatures reach the low 90s in many spots. Winds will be out of the southwest around 5 to 10 mph. Dew points in the 70s make it feel closer to 100 in the afternoon. Check out Camden Walker’s forecast through early next week.
