95 and on the Baltimore -Washington Parkway, each in great shape between the Beltways and 50 through both Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties running without delay. Bob Inler, WTOP traffic. And now to Mike Standiford. He is WTOP's meteorologist. A severe thunderstorm watching effect until 10 o 'clock this evening. The atmosphere is very unstable across the region and over the next several hours severe thunderstorms becoming likely damaging winds, hail, and heavy downpours are all likely across the region. There's even a slight chance of a tornado. Later tonight, thunderstorms will gradually die off, but any storms before midnight could be severe. Our lows will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Behind a weak front tomorrow partly cloudy skies. A slight chance for the afternoon thunderstorm. It'll be slightly less muggy. Our highs will be in the lower 90s. Looking for plenty of sunshine Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with some afternoon and some evening thunderstorms. Storms are going to be hot and muggy. Highs all three days low to mid 90s. Mike Steneffer, WTOP News. Let's check out our storms. They are scattered tonight, but affecting a lot of people when you add it all together. So between South Riding, Centerville, and Manassas. There are some storms in parts of Prince William, Fauquier, and Fairfax counties. Then in northern Loudoun County, and pretty close to the Frederick County line, we've got some more rain that is to pushing the northeast right across into Ballinger Creek in Urbana, Frederick itself, and Damascus in Montgomery County. We've got most of Carroll County Maryland getting at least some rain that is quickly pushing west to the east, and most of Baltimore County getting some strong storms that are pushing into northeastern Maryland tonight. So that's what we're dealing with if you're inside the Beltway or right on the Beltway. Not much rain yet, Fairfax but through County in the next 10 minutes we do expect to see some more storms push in. This stuff that's hitting Chantilly and Centerville right now will move into Oakton and Fairfax City and eventually right across the Fairfax County Beltway. We'll keep watching it all for you here on WTOP at 740.
