Weather officials predict severe thunderstorms in D.C. Tuesday

The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of D.C., including Adams Morgan, until 3:15 p.m. Tuesday.

The service announced a thunderstorm watch around 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon for the broader region, including parts of six states, D.C. and “coastal waters,” according to the service’s storm prediction center. The watch for the region is in effect until 9 p.m. Tuesday, the service reported.

The report indicates that severe winds and possible hail will affect the area. Severe thunderstorms have the ability to produce tornadoes, the site warns.

“Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings,” according to the National Weather Service.
