Another day full of clouds came and went. The maximum values ​​again rose to about and exceeded 70. The increase in humidity made it feel more painful over time. Although we may see new rain late tonight until early Friday, the main focus on the weather is the potential for storms. This is a multifaceted threat. Severe weather can include both spinning storms and the risk of heavy rain.

Until tonight: Clouds rule at night. We can see a fast-approaching spray or a light shower. Nothing to note. A short rain may also develop closer to dawn. Temperatures drop to the middle and upper 60s for low values.

look the current time in The Washington Post.

Tomorrow (Friday): Rains are possible in the morning, but every threatening storm must continue until the afternoon, when we can see bursts of clouds. But we will probably see a lot of clouds and occasional rain, so it is still uncertain how unstable it will become. If there is enough fuel, this could be a day when one or two isolated tornadoes are preferred along with a large hailstorm. The maximum values ​​should reach the middle and above the 70s. The wind is south at 10 mph.

There is also a risk of isolated floods, especially in the evening. We have dried up a bit from our last round of soil saturating rain, but some places can lift 1 to 2 inches quickly. If several rounds of storms pass through the same place, they may fall even more.
