 Excessive heat warning continues for the D.C. metro area and southern Maryland. On top of that, a newly issued severe thunderstorm watch until 10 o'clock this evening. We are tracking a line of strong to severe storms that will arrive here during the dinnertime hour. Some may produce gusty winds and heavy downpours. Once we get through the rough weather, our lingering showers will draw to a close overnight. Tomorrow, a few showers remain, upper 80s to middle 90s, only in the 80s for highs on Friday.
