D.C. officially had its first 90-degree day of 2022 today. We fell short of setting any high temperature records, but we probably will set a record warm low temperature once the day is complete. The anomalously warm temperatures continue overnight and into Sunday as well. But afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms on Sunday will provide at least a bit of relief.

       Tornados in northwest Germany: Extremely warm temperatures triggered an unstable air mass to produce widespread severe weather across large parts of Germany on Friday, including some rather powerful tornadoes in the northwest part of the country. Dozens of people were injured in the town of Paderborn when a particularly violent tornado ripped through a highly populated area.
