Coming off of the hottest day of the year, we are experiencing another hot one as the July heat wave ends. Temperatures should reach approximately 90 degrees for most later on Monday afternoon before a cold front brings the chance of sever weather in the form of thunderstorms later this evening. According to the National Weather Service, “A cold front will push through the region today bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region. A few storms may become severe, bringing damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall.”

As the day goes on, chances of showers increase this evening, with the greater chance for thunderstorms coming this evening around 7pm and into the early night. Highs tomorrow will be in the low 80s, which will be a  welcomed break from the 90+ degree weather for many in the area. Temperatures are expected to remain pleasant and in the 80s for the rest of the week, including the weekend. August looks to be coming in warm, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees, but we are still about a week or so away.

There is a Heat Advisory in effect this from 11am Sunday morning until 8p on Sunday night as temperatures approach 100 degrees and heat index values between 100 and 107 degrees. Temperatures will get into the 80s before 11am will be in upper 90s this afternoon. The National Weather Service advises to stay cool and hydrated and remember to take plenty of breaks throughout the day today when doing outdoor activities. Monday will also bring temperatures in the 90s along with the change of heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon before the heat lets up on Tuesday.

Per the National Weather Service:

Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.

Temperatures this weekend are likely to be a couple degrees hotter than they’ve been the last couple degrees, pushing 100° on Saturday and Sunday. The Heat Index will be over 100° on both days. Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services suggest to take frequent breaks in cool/shaded areas if you have to be outside.

Temperatures on Mondays are also likely to reach the mid 90s  with a chance of thunderstorms before the heat finally relents on Tuesday, barely reaching 80° Before getting into the upper 80s the rest of the week. Safety Tips by the National Weather Service can be seen below.

Hot and humid conditions are expected today, according to the National Weather Service. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 90s today and the Heat Index will be around 100 degrees. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible the closer you get to Washington, D.C. this afternoon, but the biggest concern for strong to severe storm with damaging winds remains south of DC.

Friday is expected to be similar to today, with temperatures again reaching the mid 90s and feeling like its 100 degrees. The weekend will bring even hotter temps, with actual highs in the upper 90s and the heat index nearing 105 degrees. The state of Maryland sent out the following message yesterday:

There is a Flood Watch in effect this afternoon, Wednesday, June 22, for Northwest MoCo that will begin at 3pm through this evening. Today will start with plenty of us with temperatures reaching the upper 80s and feeling like the mid to upper 90s. Thunderstorms are expected to roll in during the late afternoon hours. Per the National Weather Service:

Montgomery County and some surrounding areas, primarily to the south and east, are at a ‘slight risk’ for severe weather throughout the day today (Tuesday, June 14th), according to the National Weather Service.

“There will be a few opportunities for showers and thunderstorms through this morning and early afternoon. The strongest storms could contain damaging wind gusts, hail, heavy rain, and frequent lightning.” The chance of rain and thunderstorms decreases as we move into the later afternoon and high temperatures reach the low 80s.

A mostly sunny day is expected today with temperatures reaching approximately 80° and feeling like it’s in the mid to upper 80s. There is also virtually no chance of rain today, which gives us a great start to the week.

The rest of the week will be similar in regards to temperature (highs in the low 80s), but rain is possible on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Tuesday could become breezy in the afternoon with a 40% chance of a thunderstorm in spots. Wednesday gives us the greatest shot at rain with a 55% chance at thunderstorms in the afternoon. Thursday gives us a 40% chance at some morning showers.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect for our area until 9:00pm. Temperatures are currently in the upper 80s and feel like they’re in the upper 90s. Clouds have already rolled in for most of the county and thunderstorms appear to be on their way.

Thunderstorms are possible for the rest of the day, with severe thunderstorms also possible– bringing hail and damaging winds. Things should clear up overnight and into tomorrow morning as Friday is expected to mostly sunny with temperatures reaching around 80°.

Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon (Thursday, June 2nd) with the main threat being the potential for damaging wind gusts. Multiple rounds of storms are expected starting approximately 2pm, with the greatest risk this afternoon/evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80s and feel like 95° early this afternoon until the thunderstorms roll into town. The risk of thunderstorms will remain until the late evening.

According to the National Weather Service, our area should expect another day of hot and humid conditions with high temperatures in the 90s for most. Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon along and east of I-95.

Yesterday was the hottest day of 2022 and today is expected to be very similar. Temperatures reached approximately 95° for many, including 96° at DCA,  and most will be very close to it again today.
