DC Weather: Chance for rain during Labor Day weekend
The DMV will see a chance of rain on Saturday before a comfortable Labor Day weekend.
WASHINGTON - A Thunderstorm Watch was in effect for much of the Washington, D.C., region Friday as heat and humidity persist, pushing temperatures into the 90s.
What we know:
For Friday's storms, damaging winds were the main concern, with hail and isolated heavy rain also possible as moisture remains high.
Lingering showers and a few rumbles of thunder may continue into the overnight hours.
Showers could persist into early Saturday, but most of the holiday weekend is expected to stay relatively dry. Conditions will improve further by Monday, with highs in the 80s.
Clean-up from Thursday's storms
The latest round of storms comes as the area is still dealing with storm‑damage cleanup and power outages after severe weather moved through Thursday night.
Tens of thousands of outages were reported Friday morning across D.C., Maryland and northern Virginia. Prince George’s County Public Schools were forced to close Friday due to the damage.
