The extreme heat and humidity has the atmosphere primed to potentially produce severe storms capable of damaging winds late Saturday afternoon into evening. There is some question about exact timing and coverage.
HAPPENING NOW: DC reached 103 for a record high. Scattered storms cooled evening temperatures into the 80s and 70s. The risk of strong to severe storms has ended, but areas of showers remain through late evening.
HAPPENING NOW: Just a few isolated showers possible through the rest of the evening and overnight. Evening temperatures in the mid- to low 70s dip to overnight lows in the upper 60s to near 70.
