Hourly Forecast | Pollen, Air & UV
Tomorrow (Thursday): Partly sunny and hotter with highs heading for the upper 80s and low 90s most spots. Continued high humidity (dew points still in low to mid-70s) helps the heat index peak in the upper 90s to near 100. The chance of isolated to scattered showers and storms is mainly during the late afternoon into evening and especially from near DC and I-95 to the west. With the higher heat, some storms could be strong to severe with localized flooding and damaging winds. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Isolated to scattered showers and storms, a few with potential to be strong to severe, remain possible during the evening. Partly cloudy and muggy overnight with lower rain chances and lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium

A look ahead
The weather pattern is pretty much stuck Friday through Sunday. Highs should be in the upper 80s to mid-90s, and it's still quite humid with dew points mainly in the low 70s. Late-day isolated to scattered showers and storms are possible each day, although chances may be lower on Sunday. Muggy nighttime lows are around 70 to 75. Confidence: Low-Medium
Similar heat and humidity look to stick around Monday and Tuesday. A chance for showers and storms may linger as well, with Tuesday perhaps having the higher chance.
