This past weekend’s sunny and pleasant weather has given way to the potential of another work week filled with stormy weather.
A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued Monday until 6 p.m. for the Potomac Communities, as forecasters said strong storms could move into the region, some of which may contain damaging winds and hail.
Rising temperatures into the mid 80s will also support thunderstorms, much like we saw last week.
Those thunderstorms could last into the evening, as temperatures are expected to drop into the mid 60s, according to the National Weather Service.
As for the rest of the week, the forecast thorough Thursday afternoon resembles a broken record:
Tuesday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 86. South wind between 8 and 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
