D.C.-area forecast: It’s the hottest, muggiest week of the summer so far

Today’s daily digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
4/10: Humidity is a drag and a few late-day storms could pack a punch.
Express forecast
Today: Muggy with scattered late-day storms. Highs: 89 to 93.
Tonight: Evening storms possible. Lows: 69 to 75.
Tomorrow: Partly sunny, isolated storm possible. Highs: 87 to 91.
Forecast in detail
Up until now, we’ve avoided persistent heat and humidity, but it feels like a sauna through the workweek. With all the mugginess, showers and storms are a daily possibility. While temperatures may pull back some by the weekend, it will still be steamy with continuing chances for showers and storms.
Today (Monday): Skies are partly to mostly cloudy and, like yesterday, it’s uncomfortably humid (dew points in the 70s). Scattered afternoon storms are a good bet (at least a 50-50 chance), and a few could be severe with damaging winds and hail. Breezes are from the southwest. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Evening storms are probable, especially near and east of Interstate 95. Some could be intense. The chance of storms lessens overnight, with lows from the upper 60s to mid-70s (downtown). Confidence: Medium-High
