K reminiscent of all those t gloomy weeks in may where we whw got showers day after day,er day although in june its not nearly as cool. Coo its humid and its warm to goao with the wet weather whicher whh annie is exactly what werewhate seeing outside rig theres the big storm system sts or at least the cold frontol f back towards our west that ontha the very bottom corner of your y screen you can see its can see raining very heavily in houston and showers extend upen into northeast texas. Tex all the way up into the ohio valley. This cold front willnt w eventually come in by tomorrowow evening. And with it it will bring a very changeable air mass. Ms. Well loss that was humidityss by monday and a ts a result when you get in change of air mass am you can get some pretty strongyn to severe thunderstorms whichst we have been talking about for r days now. Ow weve been outlooked by the Storm Prediction Center topr have strong storms and ill get to thaedg t in a minute. In we dont have any falling rainag in our area but we have plentyet of clouds fog and humidity soumo a lot of moisture to workure to with. Wi showers and thunderstormsndstor expected again later today butet a lot like yesterday probablyro just heavy downpours, not Severe Weather. Wea Flash Flood Watches in effect towards our west this is fromth the incoming storm system which any of hes theise he downpours which if we sit over for you for get flash flooding prettyasoodi easily. This is towards the mountains into West Virginia where theyy have the Flash Flood Watch forla today into tonight. Shinonig temperatures outside right now 71 in annapolis and washington, 72 manassas, 68 ins, winchester. Winchester. So, its uncomfortable withoutit air conditioning thanks to all l that humidity.

That becomes the focal pointoc i for some showers and stormse sh later on today. Its just humid and grows out ot right now. You can see some showers and downpours later today. Pours ter now, as the actual cold front approaches tomorrow, this boundary will get nudged out by an incoming stronger coldgero front. Thats when we could have thee e stronger storms. Theres a chance for rain for tomorrow morning and with the rain tomorrow morning it couldr mess up our chances for severe v weather later in the day.

Ftero as far as storms go a marginal i risk in the green fo any isolated Severe Weather later today will be where thatet Flash Flood Watch exists infl the mountains. Enhanced risk on sunday. Sda what that means is theres ahes better chance for a widespread s severe storm meaning windind gusts 60 Miles Per Hour plusile heavy downpours even some hail i and cloud to ground lightning. G so, that is for tomorrow evening. Ev time frame with that looks to be between 4 00 anden 7 0it0 p. P thats typical for time framese of severe storms. Of s temperatures later today mid lay 80s. 80s. 84 here in washington. Ngto humid and just really, reallyea wet out there. He rain is likely overnight. Vernht by this time tomorrow morningwor we could be starting out withuth some heavy rain and like iik said that could kind ofind diminish our chances fornc Severe Weather later in theeath day.
