It may not look like it at this very second, but we’re slated for some pretty severe weather this afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service isn’t kidding around: they’ve gone ahead and tacked on a Tornado Watch for the District, which is in place until 4 p.m. this afternoon. The NWS warns that “thunderstorms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.” (Do note the difference between a watch and a warning, the latter of which is a much more urgent situation.) Those storms should start moving into the D.C. area around noon — keep a tight grip on those umbrellas out there, Washington.
