'' Storms, some severe, swept across the D.C. area late Monday afternoon and evening, unleashing winds up to 60 mph in a few locations. The storms toppled trees and triggered scattered power outages, most of them in northern Maryland.''
A tornado watch was in effect until 9 p.m., but so far no tornadoes had been confirmed in the region. Some gusty downpours remain possible through midnight but the risk of severe storms has lessened.

Much more tranquil weather is forecast on Tuesday with sunny skies, cooler temperatures and lower humidity.
