Today's Severe Storms: Strong winds, localized tornado
Severe Threat/Timing: Our severe weather risk has been upgraded today. We're now under a regionwide marginal (1 out of 5) to slight (2 out of 5) risk for scattered severe storms. It will be most active from 2 PM to 8 PM.
Local Hazards/Impacts: The top two hazards with any one storm will be fast moving, torrential downpours and damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph. There's also a very low-end chance for a brief, weak tornado this afternoon. Main impacts from today's severe event will include isolated power outages and difficult travel conditions.
Rainfall Totals: Our quick-moving cold front will help to limit rainfall totals but when it rains today, just know that it will pour. Today's torrential downpours will have us tallying up to 1+ inch. The heavy rainfall rates have prompted the continuation of our marginal (1 out of 4) risk for excessive rainfall/flash flooding. Please stay extra weather aware and on-guard today.

11 frozen dessert recipes to keep you cool all summer long
When I first moved to D.C. in March, I was warned by more than a few locals about the city's notoriously hot and humid summers. Now that we're about halfway through the season, I can confidently say they weren't kidding. With the air outside feeling thick and soupy, I've found myself seeking refuge wherever I can, ducking into coffee shops and markets for a quick blast of AC and reemerging with something — anything — icy in hand. At home, I've also observed a noticeable uptick in the number of cooling desserts piling up in my freezer.
