DC weather: Afternoon storms possible Thursday as heat and humidity continue

DC weather: PM thunderstorms Thursday

A chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms on Thursday as hot and humid conditions persist across the Washington, D.C. region.

WASHINGTON - Expect a hot and muggy Thursday across the D.C. region, with sunshine giving way to afternoon and evening thunderstorms as a cold front moves in.

Storms likely Thursday

The morning will start off dry, but FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda says storm chances ramp up after noon and continue into the afternoon and evening.

Highs will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s, and the combination of heat and humidity will fuel the chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Heat through weekend

Looking ahead, the hot and humid pattern sticks around through the weekend, with temperatures near 90 degrees. Storm chances remain in the forecast for both Friday and Saturday.
