There’s a chance for thunderstorms Thursday in the D.C. region and some of those could bring high winds.
The highest chance for storms is during the late afternoon and through the evening.
“Tracking a weather maker that’s going to keep us a little unsettled over the next several days, also making for a little bit of a tricky forecast,” said 7 News First Alert Meteorologist Eileen Whelan. “Today, though, warm, windy and humid, with mostly cloudy skies and chances for showers and maybe even a few isolated thunderstorms later today.”
Some of those storms could be strong to severe, Whelan said.
Blustery Southwest winds are expected with gusts up to 30 mph.
Temperatures in the low 80s and humidity will make it feel like summer.
It looks like the wet weather isn’t going anywhere. Scattered showers are forecast overnight, with the highest chance being after midnight. Temperatures will be in the 60s.
That rain could continue through Friday morning.
The weekend isn’t looking much drier. Showers are a possibility on both Saturday and Sunday.
“We could have a few showers Saturday morning, but Saturday afternoon, we may see some sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 70s,” Whelan said. “We’ll be dry Sunday morning, but Sunday afternoon and evening, a cold front could trigger additional showers and storms.”
