Well another threat of showers and thunderstorms will move into the region today as some storms could be severe in western PA later today into tonight. Wind and hail are the main threat of severe weather but don’t count out an isolated tornado. This severe threat will continue into tomorrow, possibly extending into the DC Region. Mugginess will persist as highs in the 80s and 90s continue. The on and off stormy pattern could continue for the rest of the week. Have a great two-for-Tuesday folks!
