The Washington, D.C.
region is bracing for heavy thunderstorms and rain on Monday, with the potential for flash flooding, gusty winds, and power outages.

Impact & Risks

The storms could lead to localized flash flooding, particularly in urban areas or locations with poor drainage. Gusty winds may bring down trees and power lines, as seen in Montgomery County on Sunday, where a large tree limb caused damage to a utility pole. Heat-related illnesses are also a concern due to high temperatures and humidity. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, especially in areas prone to flooding or power outages.
