Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of Pennsylvania and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on July 8, 2025, primarily during the afternoon and evening hours. In Pennsylvania, particularly along and south of the PA Turnpike, storms may produce damaging wind gusts and heavy rain, with a flood watch in effect from 2 PM to midnight. The storm window is generally from noon to 8 PM, with the most intense activity between 3 PM and 6 PM. Unlike previous events, these storms are forecasted to be on the move and not stall, reducing prolonged impacts. In the D.C. area, widespread storms are anticipated between 3 PM and 8 PM, with damaging winds, flash flooding, and dangerous lightning possible.
