Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening as a cold front tracks south through the Mid-Atlantic. Lightning, damaging gusty winds, and isolated hail are possible.

DC now added to the severe thunderstorm warning, as are western parts of Prince Georges County. Storms had a confirmed 67mph gust as they went through Sterling. Seek shelter until these storms have passed.

Lots of cells developing as we head into the evening hours I am expecting most of the activity to be centered around and SE of I-66 stay safe as you head home today

Another day of showers and thunderstorms. Some storms can be severe this afternoon and evening, with the higher probabilities of damaging winds generally along and east of the Blue Ridge.

Breaking: The June ECMWF update has trended *even stronger* with this year's El Niño. Almost every scenario now reaches past 3˚C, with a cluster of high-end scenarios in excess of 4˚C. This outlook now depicts the strongest El Niño on record.

Dry and increasingly warm conditions will continue through the end of the week. Clouds increase tomorrow ahead of an approaching cold front. A few showers or a thunderstorm in western Maryland Saturday afternoon/evening.

The latest SIPS (Runs every month) continues to trend towards a stronger more easterly based El Niño this winter This puts it closer to the consistently aggressive CFS and NMME not good for winter weather prospects across America in general 1/2

Strong El Niños are already either a big boom (2016) or bust (1997) For us the best winters have usually come with a moderate or weak Modoki El Niño just enough to get the subtropical jet moving (Bringing Miller A’s) but also weak enough to allow colder air to sneak south 2/2

Sunny conditions expected the rest of the day & temps in the upper 40s & 50s tonight before a cold front moves through the region tomorrow. A Marginal risk for severe weather exists over the Alleghenies, with sct. thunderstorms possible across the area tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Between 0.25-0.75 inches of rain is expected today through early tomorrow morning as a surface low passes through to the south. Any rainfall will help to mitigate severe drought conditions impacting the region. Temperatures will trend cooler over the next week.
