Strong storms to move through DC area Monday evening
Strong storms to move through DC area Monday evening

WASHINGTON — Heavy rain and a few storms will make their way through the region Monday evening, with the potential for damaging winds and hail.
A strong upper level low is moving to the Great Lakes area pulling a pretty powerful cold front with it to the east. This front will pass through the D.C. region late Monday night and into the overnight. Ahead of the front, some strong storms are developing and moving into portions of the region.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the region in a “slight risk” area with an “enhanced risk” for Winchester, Virginia, and areas that point north. (Courtesy Storm Prediction Center)
While I am not expecting a widespread severe outbreak, if you have plans this evening, make sure you have access to a strong umbrella — one that can withstand winds because chances are that you may need it.

I 'heard' something about it, and ran out. 'Scattered' and 'isolated' thunderstorms forecast here in Calvert Co, starting at 9 pm, and sunny tomorrow with hi of 75.
