Severe weather alert for DC Region

Posted: Updated:

The National Weather Service has issued a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH for much of the DC Region until 8pm. Severe Thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening.

The primary threat with these storms include extremely heavy rain, large hail, lightning, and isolated tornadoes. Those with outdoor plans should monitor the skies and be prepared for threatening weather.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH means conditions are favorable for severe storms in and close to the watch area. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes with little or no advanced warning. Residents should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.
