WASHINGTON - Another hot and humid day across the D.C. region with temperatures in the 80s and the chance for afternoon thunderstorms.

Heavy rain is expected to push in late Friday evening with severe weather – including potentially damaging winds and heavy downpours – to remain in the region into Saturday. A flood watch is in effect for the almost all of the D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas until Saturday at 2 p.m.
