After a crazy 4th of July, things will settle down a bit today. While the northern D.C. area is still under a slight risk for severe weather, given the lack of instability from all of the cloud cover, I do not think the area will see much in the way of strong storms today.

With that said, I am confident that almost everyone around the area will see some rain this afternoon and evening. There may even be some thunder or wind in some of the stronger thundershowers, but fortunatly, not much in the way of severe weather.

If any severe weather does arise, we will have updates...
