This holiday weekend, strong storms along with hot weather are hitting the D.C. area. Here’s what you need to know.

There were showers and a few strong or severe thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon, with a similar risk of severe thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon and evening.

“Showers will end before sunrise on Sunday, leading to a hot and humid day with a risk of severe thunderstorms, mainly late in the afternoon and evening,” 91Å·ÃÀ¼¤Çé meteorologist Mike Stinneford said.



According to Stinneford, the risk of afternoon and evening thunderstorms will continue into the week, including a slight chance of storms on the afternoon of the Fourth of July.

Sunday’s temperatures will be in the mid-80s to low 90s.

Monday will be hot and humid with isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Temperatures that day will be in the upper 80s to mid-90s. It’s looking like America’s birthday will be mostly dry as it’ll be in the 90s with a small chance of afternoon storms, according to Evans.
