The Mid-Atlantic region, including Virginia (VA), Maryland (MD), Washington D.C. (DC), and parts of West Virginia (WV), is experiencing a period of hot, humid weather with highs ranging from the upper 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit and heat indices reaching 95 to 100 degrees inland. Early morning fog and low clouds are common, with a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected intermittently, with some storms potentially strong to severe, especially in central Virginia and mountainous areas. A stationary front south of the region is causing heavy and torrential rainfall, particularly over the Shenandoah Valley and areas southwest of the Potomac River, prompting a Flood Watch until midnight. Rainfall totals between 1 to 2 inches are anticipated, with isolated pockets receiving 2 to 4 inches, increasing the risk of flooding. The rain and storm activity is expected to continue into Saturday, with unsettled conditions and scattered downpours as a warm front moves through. Sunday is forecasted to be hotter and more humid, with a cold front potentially bringing thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening. Coastal areas generally experience slightly lower temperatures in the 80s with less rain, while inland areas face higher heat indices and more frequent storms. Breezy conditions from the south-southwest are expected during this period.
