Sticky humidity and thunder with Tuesday’s showers in DC region

Showers and thunderstorms drenched much of the D.C. area Tuesday, after days of wet, humid conditions.

With the ground heavily saturated from the days’ worth of rain, earlier concerns centered around flooding possibilities.

The National Weather Service initially put areas along and west of Interstate 95 under a flood watch until late Tuesday night, however, the watch was canceled just before 8 p.m.

The latest round of showers had the potential to affect Virginia’s voters, who were casting ballots in a primary election.
