Intense storm complex could sweep into D.C. area Tuesday morning.

Torrential rain and damaging gusts are possible during the commute if the complex holds together and hits the area head-on.

A fast-moving and potentially severe complex of thunderstorms could pass close to or directly through the Washington region early Tuesday morning.

If the complex reaches its full potential and hits the area head-on, it could unleash torrential rainfall and damaging gusts — creating dangerous conditions for the Tuesday morning commute. However, it remains possible that the storms aren’t particularly intense, or only skirt the Washington region, passing to the north or south.

The most probable timing for any storms would be between about 6 and 10 a.m., arriving first along the Interstate 81 corridor and last in Southern Maryland.

Early Monday afternoon, the storm complex was just starting to organize in Wisconsin. By late afternoon, an area of severe storms was expanding near the border of Indiana and Ohio.
