       * Flash flood watch for D.C. and areas west of Interstate 95, tonight through Wednesday evening *

       Temperatures made it mainly to the mid-80s today. When you add in the humidity, it felt more like the mid-90s. Dew points, a measure of the humidity, are in the mid-70s across parts of the region. That’s about as muggy as it gets locally. There’s no relief into tomorrow as Tropical Depression Fred’s remnants head this way. It may spark a tornado threat in the process.

Any of this activity can produce heavy rain and flash flooding. Very high levels of humidity continue, meaning we might see some fog form overnight. Lows are mainly in the mid-70s.

       Tomorrow (Wednesday): We awake to another gross and muggy morning. Some more showers, possibly heavy, could be around as well. Breaks of sun during the midday only help fire up more showers and storms. Any rain can be heavy, with the potential for flooding. Places west should pick up at least another inch tonight into tomorrow. We should also see at least a round or two in the afternoon and evening. This weather could end up dropping some tornadoes in the region as the spinny remnants of Fred pass by. Temperatures are in the mid-80s for highs.
