DC weather: Quieter evening after storms, but more rain returns this week
After Monday’s storms brought gusty winds and nearly an inch of rain to Reagan National, the D.C. region gets a quieter stretch Tuesday evening. An isolated storm or passing shower is still possible, especially southwest of the city, before conditions improve Wednesday. More storm chances return Thursday.
WASHINGTON - Showers and thunderstorms remain possible Tuesday as warm, humid air holds across the Washington, D.C., region.
The day will feel seasonal, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s to low 90s. No signs of record‑breaking heat, but conditions will stay muggy.
What we know:
Sunshine should break through by midday, but another round of storms may develop after 3 p.m. FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda says we do not expect a washout, and activity should be less widespread than Monday, though a marginal severe weather risk remains in place for the District. Damaging wind gusts are the main concern.
Highs should reach around 91 degrees on Tuesday, with similar conditions expected Wednesday. Storm chances linger through the end of the week before drier weather and lower humidity arrive for the weekend.
