Tuesday is your window. Sunny skies, warm temperatures, and dry air across Washington D.C. and the metro area today.
Wednesday is the story. A cold front pushes through the metro area in the afternoon and evening, triggering a line of showers and thunderstorms.
One thing still unresolved is how long the storms linger. They could push through quickly, or they could drag into Wednesday night.
The story doesn't end at storms. Once the cold front clears, warm conditions return for the back half of the week.
The two things worth watching from here are the severity specifics on Wednesday, which should sharpen as we get closer, and how quickly the storms clear Wednesday night. If they move through efficiently, Thursday morning could be a clean commute.
