Elevated Risk of Severe Storms Wednesday Afternoon

Brought to you by Dugan, McKissick, Longmore LLC

Much of our region has been upgraded to an Elevated Risk of seeing severe weather this afternoon and evening. The main risk today will be the threat of seeing 60-70mph damaging wind gusts and 1-1.5″ hail. We also have a threat of seeing localized flash flooding. The highest threat will be away from the water today, but even coastal locations have a Marginal Risk of seeing a severe storm or two.

Today’s elevated heat and humidity across the Mid-Atlantic are leading to elevated levels of thunderstorm energy, or CAPE levels. An incoming piece of atmospheric energy will swing through our region this afternoon and will look to utilize the elevated CAPE levels. Storms will likely develop across Northern Virginia before the rush hour before trying to move into our region this evening. These storms may weaken some as they move eastward, so it is possible that not everyone will see a storm this afternoon or evening. Our Chesapeake’s Bounty Futurecast does a great job of highlighting all of this.
