World Pride events continue across the D.C. region, the Nationals are at home taking on the Miami Marlins, the military is celebrating their 250th anniversary with a parade, and of course, Sunday just so happens to be Father’s Day. There is a lot to get you outside this weekend, but will thunderstorms drive you back inside?

Couple of pop-up storms still possible this evening...with models suggesting a showery start to Saturday. Good news is most of the Saturday afternoon/evening looks much more hit & miss. Sunday though is getting closer to a potential washout. Rain could be heavy in the morning. https://t.co/9O1eV1Wgzn
Scattered showers and a couple of thunderstorms out there on a humid Friday afternoon. An isolated few have been on the strong side with some gusty winds. Active severe thunderstorm warnings have the yellow boxes! https://t.co/MDTyCbZPCy
With an approaching cold front, SPC has added western parts of our region to a marginal risk for severe weather Friday. It won't be a repeat of last week, but a few storms could have some gusty winds. Hit & miss stuff Saturday, with models suggesting a pretty wet start to Sunday. https://t.co/1yyJLZxfks
