D.C.-area forecast: Hot and humid, with occasional storms to dodge

Today’s daily digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of zero to 10.
5/10: About average for mid-July. Warm and humid with multiple rain chances today — even a strong storm chance in the afternoon. Humidity keeps it feeling like mid-90s.
Express forecast
• Today: Showers and strong storms possible. Highs: Mid-80s to around 90.
• Tonight: Shower or storm possible early. Lows: Upper 60s to mid-70s.
• Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. A storm may pop. Highs: 89-93.
• Sunday: Shower, storm, downpour chances. Highs: Near 90.
Forecast in detail
Hot and sweaty conditions persist. We’ve got more storm chances, too, with today’s perhaps turning strong to severe in a couple spots, especially south and east. Tomorrow may be a slightly calmer day with lower rain odds, between the elevated downpour and storm chances today and Sunday. Somewhat less-humid heat may arrive with the workweek, along with reduced rain chances.
