Severe weather risk for DC area Thursday after tornadoes in VA, MD

WASHINGTON - More showers and thunderstorms are possible Thursday, a day after severe weather, including tornadoes, tore through the Washington, D.C. region.

A severe thunderstorm watch is up for D.C. and areas mostly east of I-95 until 9 p.m. Rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch are possible. 

FOX 5's Mike Tomas says that although we are not expecting anything quite like yesterday, some isolated severe weather is possible Thursday night. 

As of 5 p.m., storms around the D.C. area are pretty isolated, though computer guidance suggests that another round may fire in the 7-8 p.m. time period near I-95. 

It's a different windfield overhead compared to Wednesday, so damaging winds are the primary concern compared to tornadoes. 

We will clear and dry out late Thursday. Humidity will start to fall as well and temperatures will mostly be in the 60s.

It will be hot and humid with highs in the mid-80s at times. 

Severe thunderstorms produced funnel clouds and tornadoes that caused widespread damage on Wednesday.

Four National Weather Service survey teams were deployed to examine tornado data Thursday across nine counties in parts of West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia. Their findings will either be released later tonight or on Friday. 

We do not yet know any ratings or the exact number of tornadoes yesterday.

After a stormy middle of the week, some much quieter weather is in store as we head into the weekend.
