The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has placed areas along and east of the Interstate 95 corridor under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms, including the District, Annapolis and Fredericksburg.issued by the National Weather Service through Wednesday afternoon. Flooding is a concern due to all of the rain that has already fallen in recent days and the potential of Wednesday’s storms to produce heavy rain at rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour.
The major uncertainty lies with how far north and west a nose of mild air coming from the south makes it. If the chilly wedge of air in place over the immediate D.C. area stays strong, then the severe weather threat may only reach as far north as Southern Maryland. If the warmer air can make it farther north, then there is a brief window for severe storms in and around D.C.
