DC region could be hit with stormy weather

Saturday is looking like an unsettled day in the D.C. region as it’ll be mostly cloudy, warm and humid with chances of showers and thunderstorms.

The showers and thunderstorms are more likely to come during the afternoon hours, even though more showers could linger into the evening.

Temperatures will be in the upper 70s to mid-80s with humidity keeping conditions feeling sticky.

海角精品黑料 Meteorologist Mike Stinneford said that severe weather threats remain low across the area, as the cloud cover is keeping the atmosphere stable.

Stinneford added that chances are increasing for flash floods later this afternoon and evening along the I-66 and Route 50 corridor.

Those who have plans to be outdoors for festivals and events such as the Great American State Fair and Giant BBQ Battle should be aware of storms and be indoors when they approach.

Sunday should be a more comfortable day as slightly drier air will allow sunshine to become more common and rain chances to steadily decrease. Most of the region should remain dry during the afternoon, although there’s a chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm.

Temperatures will be in the low to mid-80s.

The warm weather will continue when you go back to work Monday as there will be a mix of sunshine and fair-weather clouds with much lower rain chances. Temperatures will still be in the low to mid-80s, making it a good day to be outside, taking a walk or walking your pet.

However, the humidity will increase a bit on Tuesday. Temperatures in the afternoon will rise to the lower 90s under mostly sunny skies.
