Washington, DC – A line of showers and thunderstorms is expected to move into the D.C. metro between 8–11 p.m. Sunday, with impacts likely along I-95, I-70, and I-83 during peak evening travel.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, storms developing over central Pennsylvania around 7 p.m. will track south through Maryland and into Washington, D.C. late this evening. The primary threat is damaging wind gusts, with isolated hail also possible.
Drivers along I-95, I-70, and I-83 should expect sudden downpours, reduced visibility, and արագ changing road conditions during the evening commute window. Storm strength remains somewhat uncertain due to dry air near the surface, but any storms that hold together could intensify quickly.
The greatest impacts are expected between 8–11 p.m. from central Pennsylvania through northern Maryland into the D.C. corridor, directly affecting heavily traveled interstate routes.
Storm chances taper overnight as the system moves south, though scattered showers may linger into early Monday morning.
Behind the system, cooler air settles in Monday, with highs in the 50s to low 60s. Northwest winds could gust 25–35 mph, especially along open roadways, adding an extra challenge for drivers.
Drivers are urged to remain alert along I-95, I-70, and I-83 tonight as conditions may change rapidly.
