Some Sunday showers expected in the DC area

The weekend will close out a bit cloudier than it started. Expect rain, especially east of I-95, Sunday as a coastal storm makes its way into the area. “Sunday we have a chance for showers, mainly along I-95 and east. Not a ton of rain but enough to impact your Sunday afternoon and evening,” StormTeam 4 meteorologist Samara Theodore said.

  • Expect showers east of D.C., though heavy rain is not in the forecast
  • Sunday’s highs will be in the mid-60s

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.
