Then the threat of thunderstorms arrive late in the afternoon into the evening. I say between 5 00 and 9 00 p. M. Is when were looking for that threat of thunderstorms. Most of the storms are going to be north of the beltway this time around instead of the to the beltway and points south like they were yesterday. 73 in leesburg and frederick right now. 74 in hagerstown and 79 in Downtown Washington. On satellite and radar, you can see that area of thunderstorms well to the north and
South. But with this cold front having flipped slue during overnight were going to see that drier air mass move in. Its in the first alert seven day forecast.
