The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the D.C. area until 11 p.m. Tuesday.
At 3:10 p.m., radar indicated a severe storm near Piney Point moving east at 15 mph. Locations impacted include Piney Point, Lexington Park, Patuxent River Naval Air Station and St. George Island. Hail and wind gusts to 60 mph were expected.
At 95 degrees, a hazy and humid Tuesday afternoon flirted with the 1994 record for this date, 99 degrees. The UV index is a very high 9; the AQI Code is Orange, unhealthy for sensitive people.
A cold front nosing into the region from the Midwest will bring lower humidity and more comfortable temperatures on Wednesday.
