The NWS predicts wind gusts around 35-40 MPH starting in the early afternoon hours.

The NWS is also monitoring threats of a line of thunderstorms approaching the District of Columbia from the west which is expected to reach the area between 7 and 10 PM. The storms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall and wind gusts up to 70 MPH. The NWS reports this line of thunderstorms is fast moving and will last around 15 to 20 minutes with residual rainfall immediately following. The DC area should expect up to 2 inches of rainfall.

Additionally, the NWS has issued a coastal flood advisory for the District of Columbia from 7PM this evening to 3AM tomorrow morning. High tide at the Bladensburg Waterfront will be at 10:43pm tonight and the NWS expects water levels to increase 2 feet above normal. This anomaly could cause minor shoreline inundation of areas along the tidal Potomac River.
