While temperatures hit the low 90s, a Monday afternoon weathermaker could bring strong wind, rain and storms to the D.C. region.
The National Â鶹¹ÙÍø Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the D.C. area until 9 p.m.
7News First Alert Meteorologist Mark Peña said the afternoon weather event could bring “damaging winds up to 68 mph as well as bringing very heavy rainmakers, anywhere from around a half to over an inch” in some neighborhoods.
Peña said the sudden and heavy rain would alleviate the region’s drought conditions over several days, but happening at once could inundate roads Monday afternoon, adding motorists should “turn around, don’t drown.”
The threat will drop into the evening hours, and showers are expected to linger overnight. Tuesday will bring cooler conditions with highs in the 80s
