Early morning radar showed widespread showers moving across the region on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. Brief heavy downpours and lightning are possible with some activity through 10 a.m., which could create wet roads and lower visibility during the morning commute.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected before 3 p.m., followed by more showers and possibly a thunderstorm mainly after 3 p.m. Patchy fog is possible between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Highs will reach near 87 with a 100% chance of precipitation and new rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, though higher totals are possible in thunderstorms.

“There is a chance of t-storms west of I-81. Otherwise, more clouds than sun and increasing humidity,” National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington announced. “Much hotter and more humid by mid-week with increased thunderstorm chances.”

Today will be mostly cloudy with a high near 83. A chance of showers arrives tonight, followed by a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday with a high near 89. Thunderstorm chances continue into Thursday with a high near 95.
