The D.C. region will see another round of wet weather Monday, with heavy thunderstorms and rain bringing the potential for flash flooding.
7News First Alert Meteorologist Jordan Evans said storm chances are highest between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, with temperatures in the mid-80s.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has issued a heat alert for the District until 8 p.m., as the hot temperatures will bring the risk of heat-related illnesses.
Not everyone will see rain, but areas that do could experience heavy downpours, gusty winds, and localized flash flooding, Evans said.
“If they do develop over an urban area or somewhere with poor drainage, we could see flooding issues again,” said Kevin Rodriguez, lead meteorologist for the National Â鶹¹ÙÍø Service’s Baltimore/Washington service.
The storms could also lead to downed trees and cause power outages. A large tree limb fell in Montgomery County Sunday, pulling down wires and damaging a utility pole. There’s also a report of a downed tree on Clara Barton Parkway between Chain Bridge and the Glen Echo turnaround.
Sunday storms in the D.C. region produced flash floods, which were life-threatening, according to Rodriguez.
“The fact that we had several rounds of storms that each were very efficient rainmakers that ended up producing 2 to 3 1/2 inches of rain over that portion there in the western D.C. suburbs,” Rodriguez said.
Clouds will be slow to clear Monday evening, with mostly cloudy skies lingering into early Tuesday.
there will be daily chances of showers and thunderstorms through the rest of the week as humidity increases.
Tuesday is expected to be mostly cloudy and dry before showers and thunderstorms return Tuesday evening and continue into Wednesday morning.
Wednesday will be sunny, with temperatures in the upper 80s. According to Evans, the warmer weather will likely make the atmosphere more unstable, increasing the chances for additional showers and thunderstorms.
Thursday will be partly cloudy, with isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible.
Evans said the unsettled weather pattern could continue into the weekend with daily chances for afternoon thunderstorm. However, rain is not expected all day, everyday.
