A look ahead

After a cooler than average April, the first week of May keeps the warmer weather going with a mild and mainly dry Tuesday as highs top out in the 70s. A warm front pushing through could produce a spotty shower Tuesday evening. Confidence: Medium

An area of low pressure brings a better chance of showers Tuesday night into Wednesday with a few thunderstorms possible as well. Once again the severe weather threat looks relatively low as of now, but we’ll have to monitor for some stronger storms, especially south of D.C. Wednesday highs should reach near 80 to the low 80s.
