Clouds to make way for a dry Saturday

The wet weather that coincided with the new year’s arrival will exit the D.C. area today. Clouds and fog are expected to impact much of the DC area before making way for some afternoon sunshine, according to NBC Storm Team4 meteorologist Mike Stinneford. He said high temperatures should reach 55 to 60. The next storm system is due to arrive in the D.C. region by around midnight with widespread precipitation, including a wintry mix from the Blue Ridge and Catoctin Mountains westward, according to the National Weather Service.

Hot, humid week ahead for DC area with severe storm risk

A dangerous heat wave will grip the D.C. area through Thursday, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values between 100 and 105. Hot and humid conditions are expected through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, which said to expect daily thunderstorm chances and a risk of severe thunderstorms. 7News Meteorologist Eileen Whelan told WTOP that most of Tuesday will stay dry, but a few late-day thunderstorms are possible, especially north and east of D.C. as storms drift south from Pennsylvania. Any storm could produce damaging wind gusts and hail, but Whelan reiterated "storm chances are low" on Tuesday. Due to a lack of air conditioning, Parkdale High School in Riverdale, Maryland, closed early at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Prince George's County Public Schools said in a social media post.
