Storms will be likely in the northern and western suburbs of DC Sunday evening, but it won't really be until Monday when most of the area sees widespread thunderstorms (some of which may be strong).

The OOZ NAM model (below) shows the linear nature of the storms Sunday evening over PA and WV drifting southeast, however, it doesn't look like these storms will have enough steam to reach the immediate metro area.


Areas north and west of line from Frederick to Winchester run the best risk for damaging winds with this line of storms, and it not impossible that the line sticks together long enough give even the immediate metro area some rain/thunder. If anything were to happen, it would not be until after 6pm.

Some thunderstorms may be strong to severe from Monday to Thursday as a stationary front keeps up humid and unstable, so additional updates will be provided.
