Stormy Sunday Ahead for DC

Washington D.C., USASun Mar 16 2025
DC residents should brace for a stormy Sunday. The weather forecast for the day includes strong winds and severe thunderstorms. The National Weather Service has warned about a hazardous weather outlook for the region. The main threats are strong winds and hail, with the possibility of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes, especially west of I-95. Hail as large as quarters could also fall. The good news is that the stormy weather won't last long. By late Sunday, the rain should stop, and the weather will start to clear up. Sunday night will see winds shifting from the south to the northwest, and temperatures will drop. Monday will be chilly with temperatures in the 50s. There might be a few morning showers, but the sun will try to peek through the clouds throughout the day. Tuesday will be a pleasant day with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s. Wednesday will be even warmer, with temperatures climbing to the low 70s under partly cloudy skies. This shift in weather is typical for the region, where spring can bring sudden changes from stormy to sunny conditions. The weather pattern is a classic example of how quickly conditions can change in the DC area. Residents should be prepared for sudden shifts in weather, especially during the spring season. This is a reminder to stay informed about weather updates and be ready for any changes in the forecast.
