Comment 6:00 p.m. — Storms move away, temperature drops 20 degrees The heaviest of the storms has moved out of the area, while some continuous rain is sliding through areas along and east of Interstate 95. Most of that rain will end in the next hour or move over the Chesapeake Bay. The rain has cooled the air by about 20 degrees — from the low 90s to the low 70s: While most of the storms that passed through were not very strong, there were a few reports of strong, damaging winds. Dulles Airport and Frederick hit 56 and 64 mph as the storms moved through. The National Weather Service also received a handful of reports of downed trees, mostly southwest and northwest of the Beltway. Rainfall was not very impressive – generally between 0.1 and 0.25 inches, but there were some localized amounts over 0.5 inches. 4:20 p.m. — Heaviest storms south of the Beltway — warnings along the Interstate 95 corridor Severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued for many areas south of the Beltway for the next 45 minutes as storms with heavy rain, lighting and strong winds move east. If your route takes you on I-95 south of the Beltway, you might want to wait an hour or so for these to pass. From the Beltway and points north, showers and thunderstorms are milder, but brief showers, gusty winds and lightning are still possible. 3:45 p.m. — Storms approaching the Beltway — arriving around 4 p.m A long line of showers and thunderstorms is sweeping the metro area from the west, with activity approaching the belt from Manassas to Oakton to Olney. That line should move inside the Beltway shortly after 4 p.m. and possibly clear the east side of the Beltway around 5 p.m. — with rain lasting 20 to 30 minutes in most locations. Aside from a small stretch of severe thunderstorms passing through Culpeper and heading into southern Fauquier County, which is under a severe thunderstorm warning (until 4:15 p.m.), these storms should be less than severe . However, heavy rain, gusty winds and lightning are possible. Today was the hottest heat wave this week. Temperatures in the mid-90s in the city felt more like 100 or higher for much of the afternoon. As a cold front slides this way from the west, a bunch of showers and thunderstorms have developed west of the area. They begin to move into the western suburbs as we cruise through the afternoon. Even before they arrive, the storms are already causing local travel problems. The Federal Aviation Administration issued ground stops for Reagan National Airport, Dulles International Airport and Baltimore-Washington Marshall International Airport due to the storms. Until tonight: Scattered in many showers and thunderstorms move through the area through the evening. This activity is underway in the far western suburbs and will likely reach the immediate area by 4-5pm, exiting the bay by sundown. Any storms in the first round of activity could be locally strong, with the potential for damaging winds in addition to heavy rain and dangerous lightning. A few more showers or thunderstorms could develop before midnight, but probably less intense if so. The sky clears significantly near and after midnight. Lows range from the mid 60s to around 70. Winds are light out of the west, shifting to the northwest over time. Watch this current weather in the Washington Post. Tomorrow (Wednesday): Lots of sun, decreasing humidity and a nice breeze from the northwest. Sounds good to me! Highs are in the mid-80s in most spots, which can be in the 80s downtown. Winds around 10 mph, with gusts near 20 mph. Check out Matt Rogers’ weekend forecast. And if you haven’t already, join us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
