Even though Tuesday started with sunny skies in the D.C. region, keep the umbrella handy because there is a chance for storms in the afternoon.

These showers and storms could arrive between 2 and 8 p.m., according to 7News First Alert Meteorologist Eileen Whelan.

“We could see a quarter- to half-inch of rain,” Whelan said, adding there could be more downpours.

Even though not everyone will get wet weather, some areas could experience heavy rain and storms, which could lead to localized flooding and a treacherous afternoon commute.

There’s also a chance for damaging wind gusts with any storms that do pop up, Whelan said.

Tuesday’s highs during the day will be in the 80s, and temperatures will fall between 60 and 65 in the evening, when there will be high humidity and clouds.
