Northern Virginia, Maryland suburbs, and the greater D.C. region will experience continued early summer heat this week, with a brief cool-down early in the week followed by a warming trend and increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms mid-to-late week.

A strong-to-severe thunderstorm risk will affect northern portions of the area on Sunday, mainly along and north of the I-66 corridor. Damaging winds are the primary concern, with only a low conditional risk of hail in stronger storms.
